I should have mentioned that the specific settings on your /var/mail
are quite dependent on your mail delivery agent and its security/access
model. Settings on a system where sendmail is used as the user
delivery agent will be quite different from those where procmail is
used for delivery, and other agents like postfix, qmail, etc. may be
different still.
I would think qpopper would have to work correctly with settings
equivalent to /var/mail, though, whatever that is using.
