I just tried turning on POP3 on my server at home. I get it running (through xinetd) just fine. I do a portscan of the machine and port 110 shows up. I can also telnet to port 110 on that machine and get the POP3 daemon (ipop3d). However, when I try to POP my mail from there, it logs in and authenticates just fine, it sees that I have new messages, it starts to read a few bytes of the first message, then it just hangs. I had the Mandrake-default POP3 RPM installed (imap-4.7c2-4mdk-i586.rpm), and I went to rpmfind.net, re-downloaded it, and re-installed it. Still the same problem though. Any pointers?
