IIRC, RedHat uses ipop3d, which is part of the IMAP package (along
with imapd).

Sendmail (or another MTA, e.g. qmail, smail) is required in order to
send mail, whether to other local users or to remote users.
However, sendmail has nothing to do with POP3; you need a POP3 daemon
(e.g. UCD pop3d, ipop3d, qpopper).

You need to check whether ipop3d is actually installed (e.g. as
/usr/sbin/ipop3d). If it isn't, look for the IMAP package.
