Maybe it already configured itself, but you may want to check that the line in /etc/inetd.conf that is similar to this one: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper is *not* commented out (no '#' at the beginning) Also, you might have to send a signal to the inetd daemon so that it reloads its configuration file. Type (as root): kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` To check that it is working, try to telnet to port 110 of your machine as: telnet localhost 110 You should get a connection then something like: +OK QUALCOMM Pop server derived from UCB (version 2.1.4-R3) at xxx starting. Type: QUIT to close the connection. > I've got sendmail working just fine, but the > only place I and my users can get there mail is if they telnet in.(our > server is co-located and not generally physically available).
