Can't connect from non-localhost under Mac OS X 10.5.3?

Hi...

I've compiled qpopper 4.1b9 under Mac OS X 10.5.3 (Leopard).

I can connect to the server fine from localhost:

>>   telnet localhost 110
>  Trying ::1...
>  telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
>  Trying fe80::1...
>  telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
>  Trying 127.0.0.1...
>  Connected to localhost.
>  Escape character is '^]'.
>  +OK Qpopper (version 4.1b9) at botrytis-local.local starting.
>  QUIT
>  +OK Pop server at botrytis-local.local signing off.
>  Connection closed by foreign host.

However, attempting the same from a different machine on the local 
network gives:

>>   telnet 192.168.0.12 110
>  Trying 192.168.0.12...
>  telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.12: Connection refused
>  telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I'm thinking the problem might be IPv6 related?

qpopper is being launched by launchd

Previously appfirewall.log was recording

>  Jun  9 00:59:04 botrytis-local popper[5131]: (v4.0.8) Unable to get 
>canonical name of client 0.0.0.0: Unknown host (1)

however I'm now running qpopper with '-R' to not require reverse 
lookup, but the problem still persists

The firewall configuration seems to be ok:
>>ipfw list
>65535 allow ip from any to any

Any suggestions appreciated. There doesn't seem to be anything useful 
in the logfiles that I can see.

Same problem occurs with version 4.0.8

Thanks,
Shay
