I assume you had a line continuation character "\" after the "2>&1 |"
above? Also, why do you have a "3" all by itself at the end, before
the "&" character? There are also some missing options to tcpserver.
Here is my working /etc/rc.d startup script fragment for this, if
you wish to compare. Hope it helps some.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail pop server"
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
moon.demibit.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
