> to allow pop3 on redhat, you use the imap daemon correct?

I don't use RedHat and I've never touched imap, but to rush in like a
complete idiot, pop3 and imap are generally exclusive of one another,
aren't they? For instance, when you configure a mail server using
Netscape's Messenger, you have to pick whether it's pop3 or imap. So, even
though I don't use RedHat, I find it hard to believe that you'd use an
imap daemon to allow pop3. Why can't Sendmail do this?

I think imap should be at port 143 or 220, not 110 (which is for pop3).
Check /etc/services .

What do you have for pop3 and imap in /etc/inetd.conf ?

What's wrong with doing that?
