Aha! Tal, you were right on. I ran the chkconfig and ipop3 *is* running, but port 110 is closed up by default with ipchains.
Now, the next question is, how do I open that port? I have added -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 110 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT to my /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file. But honestly, I just copied the entry for port 80... :) What do I do now? Thanks so much for your help!
