localhost ports

[Janina Sajka]

Mutt doesn't listen for incoming mail. If that's what you think mutt is
doing, you're wrong. There's no reason to concern yourself about any
ports mutt might take. That's not what mutt is about.

Re Festival, Your distro may have a script to launch festival server.
But again, are you certain you're not laboring under a misconception
about what that means?

PS: To see open ports, run nmap.
