RH has pop3 on it already. Edit /etc/xinet.d/ipop3 disbale=yes ---> disable=no
Then run service xinetd restart and telnet localhost 110 to check it. I can't remember any exploits for pop3, I'm sure if you register your machine with rhn.redhat.com and pay attention to it, you should be ok for security. Also, you may want to investigate /etc/xinet.d/pop3s As passwords are passed in plain text over the internet with /etc/xinet.d/ipop3 Sendmail on the other hand you may want to pay close attention to. People may be able to use your machine to send spam.
