I think portmapper is something else entirely, related to rpc and
perhaps nfs.  Nothing at all to do with pop3.

Your cast of characters is iptables/chains, tcpwrappers, xinetd,
qpopper.  Everything you present seems reasonable, though I'm not
familiar with details of syntax.  It seems odd to me to pass qpopper as
an argument to popper from xinetd, but it works locally so maybe it's
just wierd.

Sorry I can't be more specific.
