IIRC, the presets are invoked by the post-install scriptlet in each RPM via a "systemctl preset" command, so it'd be invoked many times. > At one point, the Linux Counter script used SMTP, but as I have a home > connection, Port 25 was blocked, so I had to modify my sendmail > configuration to use my hosting service's SMTP server as a smarthost. > This worked fine, at first.
