It should accept 40 connections/minute - that is the default for
inetd. But if you need more, you can edit /etc/inetd.conf. From the
inetd man page:
The optional ``max'' suffix (separated from ``wait'' or ``nowait'' by a dot)
specifies the maximum number of server instances that may be spawned from
inetd within an interval of 60 seconds. When omitted, ``max'' defaults to 40.
So try changing
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
to
pop-3 stream tcp nowait.100 root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
Then restart inetd.
