I no longer run inetd, however I had an hpux machine that couldn't live
without running telnetd thru it (FreeBSD does it just fine). That said..
It depends on what you're using for pop before smtp. I'm using smtp-poplock
by David Harris (http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock/) and have had no
problems at all with it. I'm starting everything thru rc.local, here's
how I start the pop3 service:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/local/sbin/spop3d 2> /var/log/poplog &
and here's how I start qmail-smtpd:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -g 1001 -u 1004 0 25 \
/usr/sbin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
The -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb isn't really needed in my case as it only has
the 127. line in it.
