	well, sendmail doesnt generally do pop3, its just acts as 
	an smtp agent.

	its tcp 143. I was just saying that the machine is listening
	on 110, which would indicate to me that *something* is there.

	just the standard in.pop3d, which, like I was saying,
	i don't believe is used with RH. actually, for the
	slack box we use, we actually use qpopper as well
	rather than in.pop3d

	well, nothing in theory, but its just one of those 
	circumstances where, if I ever were to want to replicate
	this cf file in the future, and it happens to be the 
	*distant* future, I would rather not go through the 
	process of having to remember "now, what did i do when
	procmail wasnt working correctly?"
