Since the latest yum update (the first for a few months) POP3 has stopped working.

I have double checked that pop3 is listed on the public zone and sure enough it is:

firewall-cmd --list-all --zone=public
public (active)
  target: default
  icmp-block-inversion: no
  interfaces: eth0
  sources: 
  services: cockpit dhcpv6-client http https imap imaps pop3 smtp-submission smtps ssh
  ports: 25/tcp 80/tcp
  protocols: 
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports: 
  source-ports: 
  icmp-blocks: 
  rich rules: 

But netstat does not show port 110 to be open:

netstat -tulnp

I have double checked the service file for POP3 exists and includes port 110 and it does.

If I listen on port 110 and ping, this shows up (but the port is reported as closed):

tcpdump -i any port 110

If I check mail there is a similar dump but nothing in logged by Dovecot.
