This of course you can do just by pointing qpopper at it from the
command line: -f /usr/local/etc/qpopper.conf

Hmmm, I like the intent. A problem I see is that this doesn't seem
like it would scale very well to large numbers of users. It also
doesn't seem to generalise for the reverse (which I'd prefer) of
denying leave-mail to a small list of users, or generalise for the
other types of parameters one might want to set on a per-user basis.
I'd really like to come up with a more general solution that fits the
current clean config file design, but allows one to adjust a range of
settings per user from a centralised file or files instead of one per
user. I am thinking about a possible way to implement that with clean
syntax and acceptable performance.
