I installed the pop that comes with qmail, and found two things:

1) the authdaemond.plain wasn't running, or 
2) the authdaemond.ldap was running, but I had no ldap daemon.

In either case, I editted the  /usr/local/libexec/authlib/authdaemond script 
so that it didn't try to run the ldap version, and my problems went away.
