I wanted to start pop-before-smtp and I got this:

It seems there are (at least) two problem with pop-before-smtp:

1. After starting it as a daemon popbsmtp output goes to the terminal it was started on. It should go to some logs instead, and the daemon should be detached from _any_ terminal.

2. pop-before-smtp doesn't work with IPv6 configured postfix. Probably it would have problems with IPv6-enabled spop3d. This is bad, as in PLD most services are IPv6-enabled and it should not be a problem.
