You have a script somewhere... but is it even running?

If using inetd/xinetd, check the config. Also, it should be listening on
port 110. ('netstat -an | grep LISTEN' to view all ports in that state.)
If not using inetd, then ps should show a qpopper process running. Not
sure if it even has a daemon mode, now that I think about it :)
Should be a few steps in the right direction. Sorry, I don't know any
distro-specific gui's or tools to add things to various run-levels.
