The reason is probably that vpopmail's vchkpw exits with an undefined,
non-standard exit code when it encounters a bad user/password
combination; Binc doesn't understand this and shuts down. A workaround
is to make Binc catch all undefined exit codes by adding a default
handler to a switch statement somewhere. So my guess is that people
with vpopmail will get the "connection dropped" error while people
using the default checkpassword will receive a proper message.
