Thanks, but I wasn't having a problem with getting it going in the
inetd.conf!  I just didn't know where to get the program that does pop3!


THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED!

Generally, this involves adding a line to /etc/inetd.conf as follows.

pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/popper -s

And restart inetd to re-read the conf file. -> man inetd, man inetd.conf.
You may also want to read the Networking-Overview-HOWTO, section 6.1, which
points to the Mail-HOWTO.
