first of: if you want timestamps then integrate the last two lines from

to
| $setuidgid qmaill $multilog t /var/log/pop3d &
also, if you tell qmail-pop3d to output stderr on the stdout stream with
the term "2>&1", telnet will give you error messages from pop3d too. if
you leave out this term, you get separate output and error streams.
