could that be???, ok, the format of it is like this:
The hosts file is only used to convert names to addresses. You can
eliminate it as an issue by using the address, not the hostname, in
your telnet command:
telnet 192.168.40.54 110
It may be that qpopper has not bound to the NIC, only the loopback
interface. That's an xinetd issue. Are you getting any log messages on
the server from xinetd? How is xinetd configured for pop3?
