Please note that the use of inetd with qmail is not supported by the author or if you need help on the qmail mailing lists. Use daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) instead. The pop daemon should be controlled by tcpserver, similar to the following: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ <server-name> /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 An excellent step by step guide is here (http://www.lifewithqmail.org) which will walk you through setting up qmail. I'm sure the instructions above work well - just wanted to point out the part about inetd.
