Dunno what's going on.... qpopper's working now.... there's another problem... I have configured Exim MTA to deliver mail to users home directory ($HOME/Mailbox)...Accordingly I have added set home-dir-mail = Mailbox to /etc/qpopper.config.... I also added -d to in.qpopper commandline.... after restarting xinetd, when I examined /var/log/maillog I found out that qpopper is still reading from the /var/spool/mail... Neither Outlook nor Eudora can pick up any POP mail.....

You might want to read the man pages. While what you have may work (old syntax), the current/preferred method would say: sshd: ALL: ALLOW exim: ALL: ALLOW in.telnetd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0: ALLOW in.qpopper: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0: ALLOW ALL: ALL: DENY ---- The log file /var/log/secure will tell you about the success or failure of TCP Wrappers activity. You might also test and see if telnet daemon is working, as it's using the same mechanisms. Other things: In your qpopper config for xinetd, you have "service pop-3". Check your /etc/services file to be sure that's correct. On my system, I have "service pop3". Another thing to do: "netstat -an | more" and see if there's a line that reads in part "0.0.0.0:110".
