#18 Does not honor "allow other host" check box.

[jpa]

When the check box is unchecked, it should not listen
for other hosts.
Under Windows, using the cmd netstat -ano
will show that MrPostman (pid 2240 in this case) is
listening on all interfaces instead of just 127.0.0.1
(localhost):

TCP 0.0.0.0:11110 0.0.0.0:0
LISTENING 2240
TCP 0.0.0.0:25250 0.0.0.0:0
LISTENING 2240

I would sugest the following (or similar) change to
PopServer() _AND_ SmtpServer():

Replace "listenSocket = new ServerSocket(port);"
with:

if(mpn.getUserprefs().getBoolean("AllowOtherHosts",
false))
{
// Allow anybody to connect, so listen on any/all
local addresses
listenSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
}
else
{
// Nobody from the outside is allowed to connect.
Only listen on localhost.
listenSocket = new ServerSocket(port, 50 /*default
value*/, InetAddress.GetLocalHost());
}

Change also MrPostmanServer.run(){}
"listenSocket = new ServerSocket(port);"
so that it listens mostly locally.

MrPostman will check the address of the client trying to
connect. Thus I currently see no necessity for the change.

Attached picture of Windows complaining about MrPostman
listening on non-loopback IP address.
(I'm done with a patch for this, and will be posting it in
the next couple of minutes).

Should work now in MrPostman 1.1 RC1. Patch was applied
(slightly modified).
