Don't I feel silly. It was portsentry. I do have it set to start last and thereby only grab ports that aren't being used as legitimate services. But if you're still building a box, it is probably best to leave portsentry off during the development phase.

Thanks for helping me to see the obvious (:

It seems to be listening on these ports but I can't connect: # netstat -na|egrep '110|143|993|995' *.110 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN # IPv4 *.143 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.143 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.993 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.993 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.110 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.995 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN *.995 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN

netstat shows two processes listening on each port.

Shut down any other imap/pop3 server you are running. Check your inetd.conf config file, make sure that you did not tell inetd to also listen on these ports.
