Hi. I also have the same problem 2 days ago. And I solved it after some kind
soul helped me out.
Anyway, just add -R and the -H switch to tcpserver.
-R disables IDENT
-H disables reverse DNS lookups
Your new line should look like this
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
&
Best Regards
David
