Yes, it's commented. The cyrmaster process is listening on port 110 and when 
I try to connect then a new pop3d process is started. I also get that entry 
in the pop3d.log that a connection got accepted. But I don't get the 
usually following notice about a login in that log. This is no surprise as 
the pop3d doesn't answer to my pop clients (I tried mozilla and telnet) 
with the "+OK ... server ready" message. The process simply hangs there 
without sending any response (which I could pretty fine observe in 
ethereal).

I have to assumtions. Either the pop3d has a problem with libs from the 
underlying OS or it's a problem with kolab internal processes. But there is 
nothing strange in the configuration, and as my test machine is running POP 
quite fine, I guess it's a problem with the libs from SuSE 7.0.

I guess I have to upgrade the machine, as I don't know where else to look 
for the problem. :-(
