Maybe qpopper is not even being ran.
Configure your xinetd to give more logging; maybe like:
log_type = SYSLOG local4 info
log_on_success = PID HOST EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT

Not POP3 related.

What does netstat on your 194.224.7.3 system show?
netstat --inet -n -c
Maybe watch top(1) to see if qpopper is even started.
