KK,
This means that port 110 or port 25 are already open. You may be running 110
or 25 through inet. In this case, edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the
lines with pop-3 and smtp, then restart inetd. Not running inetd? Maybe you
have a tcpserver already running. Try killing all tcpserver processes. You
can see what ports are open using this command:
for tcp ports: netstat -tla
for udp ports: netstat -ula
for both: netstat -utla
Hope this helps!
