The problem is in the local delivery agent. My understanding is that
the most recent mail.local (available from <http://www.sendmail.org>)
fixes a problem that causes incorrect Content-Length headers to be
generated.
Qpopper 3.1 includes a work-around for C-L headers which are slightly
off. I suggest upgrading to the latest mail.local and Qpopper 3.1,
and then see if you still have any problems with C-L.

Edit popper/Makefile to remove '-DCONTENT_LENGTH=1'. But first see
if this is needed.
