First, I did change the listen because I *do* not want it to listen on 
the external interface ...

listen-address: 192.168.1.91 :110 (rna.nl)
mailbox: bsd:/var/mail/$(user)
auth-passwd-enable: yes
auth-passwd-mail-group: mail

Startup of tpop3d says

[dumbledore:/var/mail] root# /usr/local/sbin/tpop3d -d -v
listening on address 192.168.1.91, port 110, domain rna.nl
listener_new: gethostbyaddr(0.0.0.0): cannot resolve name
listener_new: 0.0.0.0: no domain suffix can be appended for this address
listener_new: 0.0.0.0: using fallback domain suffix `dumbledore'
listening on address 0.0.0.0, port 110, domain dumbledore
listener_new: bind(0.0.0.0:110): Address already in use
1 authentication drivers successfully loaded
net_loop: tpop3d version 1.4.2 successfully started

Why does it try 0.0.0.0 anyway?

Then in a shell I did:

[dumbledore:local/src/tpop3d-1.4.2] gerben% telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.rna.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.

In other words, it works (also when I connect on 192.168.1.91) when I 
connect with telnet from the local system.

OOPS! I just remember something. I have to look at this tomorrow, so 
forget about it temporarily and I'll report back later...
