To receive eMails you need a SMTP not a POP3 daemon.

You can start it like
   /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
        -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Be sure to disable/kill smtp/sendmail in /etc/inetd.conf and and the system
startup scripts.

The best way to start up qmail is using daemontools. See
    http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#start-qmail
for examples.
