Nope, looks like it's loaded.  Not sure where to take it from here, I
personally haven't touched ipfw in years.

Got it, now I understand the problem (makes sense, I was wondering how
it did transparent proxy w/out access to the destination IP:) ).  So
basically, it does a state lookup on the socket connected to it and
figures out what the original IP was based on that.

Maybe Scott will have an idea why IPFW isn't loading your ruleset. 
Other than that, waiting for the p3scan developers to "fix" this. 
BTW, if there's a finite number of pop3 servers you need to access and
you know what they are, you can run multiple instances of p3scan, one
for each server and redirect the individual servers to specific p3scan
instances.  Not elegant, but it might work in a crunch.
