Hello,
Thanks for the great help! I really really apreciate
this!
I found the following line in my /etc/inetd.conf file
in the section "Pop and imap mail services et al"
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
ipop3d
The advice seems to suggest that I should comment out
this line. I am currently running qmail-pop3d. Is
commenting out this line the correct way to go? I am
quite a newbie and don't want to do something stupid
or comment out something I shouldn't be.
Best.
