Thanks Sean,
In fact I switched pop3d from inetd to tcpserver and it now works!
Nonetheless, here are the information you asked for, they may be helpful to
someone sometime :-)

I'm running qmail under Suse 7.0 although I'm much more familiar with
Redhat.
The services are uncommented.
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail qmail-popup
flateric.webdefense \
/bin/checkpoppasswd/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
...Now that I'm not sick anymore I realize that since my inetd line is in 2
parts, that's probably why it didn't work :-)

I wasn't running anything apart from qmail.

Yes everything was stored in the right place.

I am using checkpoppasswd, and it is placed in /bin
Cheers,
