Looks like tcp wrappers. Edit your /etc/hosts.allow to allow connections
for the pop3 service.

Subject: Only localhost works for POP

Hello all,

I have installed qpopper from the ports collection on freebsd 4.5. I'm
trying to test it locally from the machine itself and if I telnet to
localhost on port 110 everything works perfectly. If I telnet to the
machine
name or the IP address this is what I get:

vanessa# telnet vanessa 110
Trying 192.168.0.50...
Connected to vanessa.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
vanessa#

The connection immediately gets closed. I'm sure this isn't a qpopper
problem but I've been scratching my head form a while trying to figure
out
why this is failing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help.
