This will result in TCP Wrappers being called (via libwrap).

You need to add an entry in your /etc/hosts.allow to permit qpopper to run.
It'll probably be something like:

in.qpopper: ALL: ALLOW

TCP Wrappers works based on the program name of the daemon, which would
account for why the ipop3d worked and qpopper doesn't, assuming your
/etc/hosts.allow is other than an empty file.

[You might want to tell us what your /etc/hosts.allow looks like, if the
above doesn't fix the problem]
