What "doesn't work"?  What error messages do you get?  What shows up in the
logs?

I'm still sort of new to he *nix world.  Btw, I'm using FreeBSD 4.2, if it 
matters.  Anyway, this is what script looks like in 
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \
 /usr/local/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
 -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 
21

And yeah, I did put my fully qualified domain name in FQDN :)

Good.

You can't combine two services in one run script. You need to set up a
separate service for qmail-pop3.

See:

For instructions on setting up qmail-pop3d the LWQ way.
