A fair enough cop, perhaps, but I think I was talking about servers
being run as, well, servers, rather than as part of a network attack. 
By that standard, pretty much any station that can generate packets is a
potential danger.

Quick question:  I'm using postfix for local mail delivery -- running
fetchmail to pick up popmail from various servers.  Is there any quick
and easy way I can restrict postfix access to IP addresses of
192.168.0.n?
