As far as I know, Postfix by itself does not handle the POPping of
messages - you need a separate program for this.
I've installed courier-pop, qpopper, cyrus-pop3d and dovecot-pop3d are
some possible alternatives.
Perhaps you should issue a
ps -fe | grep -i pop
... and see if there's a pop3-server already running or not.
