Yes, the permissions are correct. Excatly as you indicated above. (my
smtp is already running on ssl)
   

okay, I asked only for sure ;)

 

There I found that it is not able to find control/qmail-pop3d.cdb
and thats why it was dropping connections. So I just copied the file
from /service/pop3d/tcp.cdb to control/qmail-pop3d.cdb and voila. It
worked. So I uncommented pbsadd line and now its working
without problem.
   

Hm, I'm not sure if this file should not be created by make setup?
My qmail-pop3d.rules looks like this:
# POP3 Server rules.
# Normaly you allow from everyware and the only useful env vars are
# NOPBS, LOGLEVEL and POP3_LOGLEVEL.
#
# disable pop-befor-smtp on the loopback
127.0.0.1:allow,NOPBS=""
# default allow
:allow,NOPBS=""
(Its nearly the same (only addes NOPBS="" after the global :allow) as
qmail-pop3d.rules which you can find also in the qmail-ldap source
directory.
As you can see, its possible to disable PBS in a "nicer" way.
 

Similar file I have except the on last line I don't have NOPBS="".
One difference I noticed that my /var/qmail/boot/qmail-pop3d-ssl/run has 
this line

exec \
        tcpserver -v -HRl $ME -x$QMAIL/control/qmail-pop3d.cdb \
            ${CONCURRENCY:+"-c$CONCURRENCY"} ${BACKLOG:+"-b$BACKLOG"} \
            -s ${TLSCERT:+"-n$TLSCERT"} 0 pop3s \
        $QMAIL/bin/qmail-popup $ME \
        $QMAIL/bin/auth_pop ${PBSTOOL:+"-d$PBSTOOL"}\
        $QMAIL/bin/qmail-pop3d "$ALIASEMPTY"
Notice $QMAIL/control/qmail-pop3d.cdb  in above script snippet.
That was the line creating problem. Though I did not edit it to point it 
to somwhere else
I think we can make it to refer to some other file such as 
/service/pop3d/tcp.cdb so that
pop3 with ssl and without ssl will refer to same file. Though I am 
allowing everyone
pop3 access (againts authentication of course).
