You have to apply a small patch and recompile.

The problem is that plain old POP3 authentication sends passwords in
the clear. Anyone who can sniff the traffic between the server and a
client can steal POP passwords. You need something like APOP to fix
this. Since qmail-pop3d is modular, this means replacing checkpassword
with an APOP version.
