Thanks for all your comments.
Once I realized that I was running the ipop3d daemon I realized the error in
my ways. I never finished converting my system over to qmail when I had set
it up this summer. I had intended to come back and switch over to maildirs,
but I never did it.
I just converted over to the Maildir format and setup qmail-pop3d under
supervise to provide access for my users. I'm sure that will eliminate the
problem
Thanks again!

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
