I notice you specify both an authfile and a nonauth file.  Are you 
sure you want to do that?  That means that any user who isn't in the 
auth file is rejected.  Could that be the problem?

Try enabling debug tracing to see what Qpopper says is the problem.

To enable tracing in Qpopper:

1.  Do a 'make clean'
2.  Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
3.  Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t tracefile'.
4.  Send inetd a HUP signal.

This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog (if you used 
'-d') or to the file specified as 'tracefile'.
