yahoopops and xinetd

Hi!

I've compiled and installed yahoopops. It works fine when I run it
manually on port 3495 but I would like xinetd to do the job for me. So,
I added the following lines to /etc/xinetd.conf:

   service unlisted
   {
        type                            = UNLISTED
        socket_type                     = stream
        protocol                        = tcp
        wait                            = no
        server                          = /usr/bin/ypops.sh
        port                            = 3495
        disable                         = no
   }

The problem is that whenever thunderbird tries to connect to ypops I get
the message "Could not connect to server localhost; the connection was
refused" and a quick port scan shows that no service is listening for
activity on port 3495.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with my firewall either since I have
no problem whatsoever when I run the program manually.

Is there something else that needs to be done?
