I did that and the file is being created, but the entries are stil
ending up in the maillog.

# default: off
# description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \
#              using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \
#              or fetchmail.
service pop3
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
        log_on_success  += HOST DURATION
        log_on_failure  += HOST
        log_type                = FILE /var/log/ipop3
}

Here's a typical sequence of what's in the maillog:
Nov 28 09:55:03 www ipop3d[9502]: pop3 service init from 192.168.0.4
Nov 28 09:55:04 www ipop3d[9502]: Login user=twilts host=d800.ewilts.org [192.168.0.2] 
nmsgs=0/0
Nov 28 09:55:04 www ipop3d[9502]: Logout user=twilts host=d800.ewilts.org 
[192.168.0.2] nmsgs=0 ndele=0

Any other ideas?  I would have thought that this would be easy, but it's
not turning out to be...

Thanks,
