Hi,

There is a limt of 40connections/minute in inetd. If you have more
connections in a minut inetd will disable the service for 10minutes for
loop-prevention. You can specify a higher limit for the servive with:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait.100 root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.pop3d
^^^^
NOTE: since you wrote you wont get that many requests there is eighter an
error in the connection detection of inetd, or your pop3d isnt executed
everytime a connection is comming in (check hosts.* and the tcpd syslog).
Greetings
Bernd
