make sure that inetd.conf is correct...
[loki] /etc ---> grep pop3 inetd.conf
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
[loki] /etc --->
make sure /etc/services has the correct entry (it should unless you
touched it...
[loki] /etc ---> grep pop-3 services
pop-3 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3
[loki] /etc --->
also, if you use hosts.allow or hosts.deny make sure it will allow
connections to ipop3d. My sister uses eudora with this setup and i
haven't had a problem yet.
