here the steps how I see it - use YAST2 to make sure rinetd is installed (do a search for "rinetd") - edit the /etc/rinetd.conf file (you may have to create this file) - add what I sent you in the file making sure to replace 123.123.123.10 with the external ip address of your linux box 222.222.222.10 with the ip address of your (interal) pop3 server - start rinetd with ("rcinetd start") - try to connect to your pop server (e.g. telnet 123.123.123.10 110) - if this doesn't work check the log file "cat /var/log/rinetd.conf" - if there is nothing send a sighup to rinetd to write the logfile (kill -HUP rinetd) - check the log file again "cat /var/log/rinetd.conf" - if it works then use yast2 to configure rinetd as a service that is automatically started on boot thats about all I can tell you, if you are stuck somewhere send me a mail directly Markus

if you just want to forward the tcp connection you can either use port forwarding features of iptables (prob. somehow possible with susefirewall) or use rinetd.
A possible entry for etc/rientd.conf is:
#---snip---
# allow all external ips allow *
logfile /var/log/rinetd.log
# pop rule # external-ip external-port pop-server-ip pop-server-port
123.123.123.10 110 222.222.222.10 110
#---snip----
hope this helps
