It wouldn't, unless you were running the pop3d in standalone mode.

It leads me to believe that you should check out your tcpwappers config.

Well, if you're running qmail-pop3d under tcpserver, it'll show up if you
ps ax | grep tcpserv
Or just telnet to port 110. qmail-pop3d looks like this:
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
qpopper, something like this:
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 2.53)
I'm not sure what you have:
Connected to mailserv.entyre.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 mailserv.entyre.com v6.50 server ready
quit
+OK Sayonara
