Use ipchains to disallow incoming connection attempts (TCP SYN packets) 
from outside your subnet:

mylan='192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0'
ipchains --append input --protocol tcp --syn \
  --source ! $mylan --jump REJECT --log

You might also consider blocking udp packets from sources other than your 
designated DNS servers:

# Get the list of nameservers from resolv.conf.
nslist=`grep '^nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf | cut -f 2 -d ' '`

# Now add rules to accept UDP and TCP packets from
# the name servers on the domain name service port (53).
for ns in $nslist
do
  ipchains --append input --protocol udp \
    --source $ns domain --jump ACCEPT
  ipchains --append input --protocol tcp \
    --source $ns domain --jump ACCEPT
done

# Add a rule to reject (and log) all UDP packets that are
# not from my LAN.
ipchains --append input --protocol udp \
  --source ! $mylan --jump REJECT --log

They are started by xinetd, if xinetd is configured to allow them to run. 
You only need ipop3d.

Look at the files in /etc/xinted.d and the xinetd.conf man page and all 
will be come clear ;-)
