Growl Team,

I noticed that Growl keeps a tcp port open even when "Listen for
incoming notifications" is disabled. I would expect that Growl close
the open port when it is not needed, or, limit traffic to the loopback
address (127.0.0.1). Can this behavior be corrected? Keeping the port
open, even though Growl will not respond, does introduce some network
security risk.

Here is my (sanitized) output from "lsof -n -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN":
COMMAND     PID      USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE
NAME
Growl     77380  username    5u  IPv4 0xffffffffffffffff      0t0  TCP
*:23053 (LISTEN)
Growl     77380  username    6u  IPv6 0xffffffffffffffff      0t0  TCP
*:23053 (LISTEN)

Thanks.
