Something running under the name of 'inetd' is binding to port 143 on
all inet4 addresses. Either that, or there's a bug in sockstat or the
kernel structures that it manipulates, though I've not seen mention of
that anywhere. Maybe it's an old instance of inetd from a changed
configuration? Perhaps you changed its configuration but forgot to
restart it?

Trust your tools, for you are lost without them.
