Yes I did create the link in the service directory.
Those who are monitoring this question, someone suggested that the script
should be as follows:
WRONG SCRIPT
=============
> #!/bin/sh
> exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3
> /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.tibonline.net \
> /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
> /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
CORRECT SCRIPT
==============
> #!/bin/sh
> exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3
> /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.tibonline.net \
> /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 |
.... and create a ".../qmail-pop3/log" folder and include a
multilog logging script in there.
If the second script is correct, can someone explain the difference??

Your first try, below, looks pretty good. But... did you remember to
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3 /service/
You have to make a link in the /service directory for svscan to notice
it.
