I suppose you _did_ uncomment the line for pop3 in inetd.conf? Something like
this (wrapped across two lines)
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root.mail /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/chroot /home/popmail /usr/sbin/gnu-pop3d -i
[if you are not running pop3 chrooted, just remove that /usr/sbin/chroot
/home/popmail from the line]

no
oh by the way - upgrade to redhat 6.2 (or at least your kernel, bind and
assorted other packages) if that server you mention has a public ip.
-s (and as you are in india, try http://lists.linux-india.org for non
exim related queries like this <g>)
