In my case, under following situation, no pop3 request is available: the
error is, "Password supplied for \"user\" is incorrect."

o the system itself is NIS master server
o there are some users on this host
o POP3 server of Qpopper is running on this host
o /etc/nsswitch.conf of this host has following three lines
  hosts: files dns 
  passwd: files
  group: files

After I changed nsswitch.conf to

hosts: files dns 
passwd:	files nis
group:	files nis

the problem went away.

If "nis" is removed from passwd line in nsswitch.conf, for example,
qpopauth cannot find user pop.

# qpopauth -list ALL
qpopauth: "pop": userid unknown

When "nis" is added again, no problem.

# qpopauth -list ALL
