Yes you can run both smtp and pop on monica.threeofus.com, it's a simple
matter of setting up the correct entry in /etc/inetd.conf. First of all, do
a netstat -a |grep -i pop on the machine and see if the pop server is
running, if you get back an entry like the one below then it's already up:
tcp 0 0 *:pop *:* LISTEN
If it comes back with this line then you have an access problem and will want
to check your /etc/hosts.allow file. If you get nothing then edit the
/etc/inetd.conf and find the entry for pop3, you want it to look like the
following:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
Now you'll notice the part that says /usr/sbin/tcpd, this means that
tcpwrappers is used to control access to this service and I highly recommend
that you use it. Access is controlled via the /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny files, do a man on hosts.allow to see what to put in it.
