This is perhaps a dumb question, but you are running qpopper as the
root user, right? It needs that to be able to check the password and
then change uid.
If so, then on Solaris I would check for a problem with PAM
configuration.

"My own personal theory is that this is the very dawn of the world.
We're hardly more than an eyeblink away from the fall of Troy, and
scarcely an interglaciation removed from the Altamira cave painters. We
live in extremely interesting ancient times.
I like this idea. It encourages us to be earnest and ingenious and
brave, as befits ancestral peoples; but keeps us from deciding that
because we don't know all the answers, they must be unknowable and thus
unprofitable to pursue." -- Teresa Nielsen Hayden, 1995
