[K12OSN] POP3

I know this isn't specifically a K12LTSP related issue, but I figured
someone could help me. I'm attempting to set up a mail server running
FC2...Sendmail seems to be working fine, but both POP3 and IMAP refuse
to accept connections outside of localhost. I've modified
/etc/hosts.allow to allow ipop3d connects from the external IP for our
router here (looks like: ipop3d: ***.***.***.*** : ALLOW) I've also
edited the ipop3 and imap file in /etc/xinetd.d to include

only_from		= ***.***.***.***

So, what am I doing wrong, or what have I missed, perhaps I need to use
domain names instead of IP's? I know I'm probably missing something
right under my nose.
