No way to tell, but we can try ;)

You can connect, so it probably isn't a firewall, so it is probably 
tcp_wrappers?

Strange that doesn't show a tcp_wrappers failure though.

Make sure you have an appropriate entry for "poppassd" in your tcp_wrappers
setup (in /etc/hosts.allow usually).

That is very bad that it claims to have success when it clearly is
failing.  That is a bug in the code, probably not checking the return
status of some calls.

This is fairly normal since the connection isn't working.  The only problem
here is that it isn't being detected as a failure.

What is in your /etc/hosts.allow file concerning poppassd?  If nothing,
then try adding something like:

poppassd : all : allow
