So what? Nothing prevents these servers to continue listening for POP2 on port 109. The only issue would arise if some newly popular service expected to run on port 109. The servers could not run both POP2 and that new service on the same port. But if these are rarely updated legacy servers, then an hypothetical new service would not be a high priority, would it?
