You can install qpopper and just modify inetd.conf to tell tcpd to use
qpopper
for pop3 port.
You do not need to remove ipop.
If you do not write ipop in inetd.conf, then ipop will never be started.


By the way, everyday, tcpd refuses invalid accesses to our server.
I suggest that you use tcpd to control access.
