Why are you running with inetd anyway? It might be something in the way
your logging is setup.
I would make the switch to tcpserver (check out www.lifewithqmail.org for
help)
No one knows the reason for your problem because you haven't given enough
information, you reposted the exact same post. If we couldn't figgure it
out the first time, we can't figgure it out the second time with the same
info.
My guess would be either your logging is screwed up, or you really do have
imap running but you don't know it.

Subject: Why does POP3 log "inetd ... exit status 1"
Since I had no reply, I try re-posting with a new subject line.
I cannot believe nobody knows the reason of this problem, but the only
reply I got so far was from someone who had the problem but then switched
to courier-imap. There must be a simpler solution, since I don't need IMAP.
