Courier's pop3d expects to be the last of a chain of processes which wait
for the tcp connection, fork, check ACLs and do authentication (etc).  
It'll expect some part of its environment to be set up to indicate that a
user is authorised and has correctly authenticated. You'lll probably be
able to fake it, but you'll need to know what the expectations are.
