The above example is a simple tcpserver script. If you want to use
daemontools, you can, but there's not an example of a pop3 run script in
the INSTALL file. If you're familiar with daemontools, it's only
slightly different that what's above, and you should be able to figure
it out.
Here's my daemontools run file for pop:
#!/bin/sh
VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail`
VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail`
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H \
-u"$VPOPMAILUID" -g"$VPOPMAILGID" 0 pop-3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup yourdomain.com \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
