Just make it listen on 0.0.0.0 &lt;http://0.0.0.0>?

Not an option. I want local users to connect by pop3 and remote by pop3s.

Kreshmir,
You should still be able to achieve that by using tcpwrappers or
iptables to restrict access on the appropriate networks.

Alan, I believe we should keep the discussion on the list :-) Please "reply
all"
Correct me if I'm wrong, by default POP3 and POP3+SSL both work at the same
port, 110. I want to let local users connect by plain POP3 and external
users to use POP3+SSL. I don't see how I can set this up using iptables and
tcpwrappers. Can you please provide more details?
