In my case this approach will not work. I am starting qmail at boot from
/service directory using under svscan. I am not using the script as you have
suggested. In may case qmail is running fine, I can receive messages in
user's directories.
Thanks.

I just installed Linux and qmail for the first time EVER
this weekend, so don't take this as an "expert" opinion,
however, mine IS working with qmail and pop3d...
I added the "tcpserver" command within the "start" command of
the /etc/init.d/qmail script...
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
cd /var/qmail/supervise
env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
echo -n "Starting qmail-pop3d: svscan"
# What I added <<<<<
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mydomain.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
# End of what I added <<<<
echo ".."
;;
stop)
Works fine for me...

I tried it and I don't think so!!!!
Any suggestion??? Remember I am using "qmail-HOWTO" to install and start
qmail. This particular HOWTO does not address the pop3 script.

Are you certain you're getting past this point and executing the
