what's the error?
1> Connection timed out?
2> Connection refused?
if (1)
then you need to put the ips of your lan in /etc/hosts -or-
set up a nameserver in your gateway box that resolves the reverse IPs of
the hosts in your private network.
if (2), then you did not start the pop3 service. do a
chkconfig ipop3 on
service xinetd restart
on most mandrake/redhat systems
