We have some servers with those ports closed, and we do...

service dovecot stop
service xinetd stop
   then setup chkconfig xinetd and dovecot to be off
chkconfig dovecot off
chkconfig xinetd off

setup proftpd to run 'standalone'
vi /etc/proftpd.conf     -- change
#ServerType                     inetd
ServerType                      standalone
service proftpd start

We then changed /usr/sausalito/swatch/bin/am_pop.exp
to always return the green light

Which works for us... YMMV
