Maybe, maybe not. It just means lots of people have connected to your POP3
server in the last few minutes and are still connected. To see if it's a
matter of concern, see if there are any of those processes hanging around
which are old (i.e., processes that were created 24 hours ago or something
like that).

You don't. You supervise the tcpserver instance which is launching
qmail-popup. If you try to supervise qmail-popup, then those instances of
qmail-pop3d can never go away (they'll get restarted by supervise), and you
would get problems like you report above.

svscan can be used if you like. Many people do. Restarting qmail gracefully
is basically a matter of sending qmail-send a SIGTERM and waiting for all its
associated processes to go away cleanly.
