The manuals from Red Hat are worth a look, too. <hint >

# chkconfig ipop3 on

Done. POP3 server enabled. No editing of /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3. No
restarting of xinetd.

Is the server receiving any messages from anywhere? Have you set up
sendmail or postfix to turn the computer into a mail server?

Why do you search, when above you 've found it? ;-)
It 's /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 because xinetd instead of inetd does the
work.

"Yes " to the former question. "No " to the latter. They are
independent.

You have misunderstood that. Tech support has given you
command-lines which to type in on a console. You are expected to
type in the stuff _between_ the double-quotes, not anything before
or after that:

> (1) uninstall "rpm -e sendmail-8.11.6-15 "

> (2) install "rpm -Uvh sendmail-8.11.6-15 "

'uninstall ' and 'install ' here is the instruction from tech support,
not a command.
