Are you perfectly clear on what popper does? popper simply allows
remote access to local UNIX mailboxes via the Post Office protocol
(POP). What sort of "administration" did you expect? It relies on a
mail transfer agent such as sendmail to deliver the mail to the local
user's spool file, it uses whatever form of authentication you want
(from PAM to /etc/passwd to /etc/pop.auth) and logs to the system log.
There's not much else beyond that, unless you're in a special case
(such as where you need DRAC for dynamic relay authorization, which
is becoming less common, want to provide a mechanism whereby users
can change their passwords remotely, or other esoterica).
Or, by "administering" do you mean "getting it working to begin with"?
