Try commenting out line 91 in qmail-popup.c:
91 /* if (fd_copy(2,1) == -1) die_pipe(); */
92 close(3);
93 if (pipe(pi) == -1) die_pipe();
94 if (pi[0] != 3) die_pipe();
95 switch(child = fork()) {
96
Now checkpasswords and qmail-pop3d's SDTERR should go where tcpservers
STDERR
goes. Set a environment variable in qmail-popup, say LOGID to provide
a session wide unique tag to use in the popup -> checkpassword -> pop3d
pipeline.
