Thank you for the replies.

It is Life with Qmail which I used for help in my setup. It says:
"Typically, qmail-popup is run via inetd or tcpserver"
"For a busier service, use tcpserver instead."
So using inetd seems right in my case.

Logging seems to be doing what I expect. Like in this case, reporting a
non-zero exit code.
But why does qmail-pop3d (or is it checkpassword?) exit with "1"?

I'm quite sure I have nothing else listening on that port:
# grep "^ *pop" /etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
net1.alma.ch /opt/qmail/bin/checkpassword /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd poppassd
(pop3 all on 1 line of course)
And (sorry for the long and boring list):

qmail-* was compiled from sources (1.03) without patches.
checkpassword also, version 0.90.
In case that matters, I'm not using qmail for smtp (but postfix), only
qmail-popup for pop3.
Well, what else can I say? I wouldn't have thought my problem to be so
esoteric.
Any clues are still welcome!
Thank you,
