Open up the System Preferences, and click "Sharing". Next, click "Firewall" and either disable the firewall, or add rules for pop3.

This might not be it, but then again, it might be!
Also, check qpopper's log file. The fact that it connects and then disconnects says that xinetd has opened the port properly, and qpopper is failing. You might want to try launching qpopper without xinted, just to see what happens.

I've tried installing a fresh qpopper install on panther after compiling it but when I try to test it with telnet localhost pop3 it just says:

Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

and kicks me back to the shell. And eudora says TCP/IP Error. -3162; The server is not responding. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? The xinetd entry is set up as:

service pop3
{
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        protocol = tcp
        user = root
        server = /usr/libexec/popper
        server_args = qpopper -s -c -C -F
        port = 110
}

which I can only assume is correct.
