Unfortunately this is not always the case. For example I have MetaCard based
SMTP server listen on port 25 to handle incoming traffic, and still would
like to run sendmail on the loop back 127.0.0.1 for local traffic.
By accepting connections on port 25 using metacard, I cannot start sendmail
anymore.
