You probably should be looking at /var/spool/mail or /var/mail as your
model. Neither /var/spool nor /var/spool/mqueue are normally writable
by mere mortals.

To something writable by uid 1125 and gid 6. ;-) I.e. qpopper needs
to be able to write a user's file running as that user.
Actually, there might be another problem once that is dealt with.
Since you've pointed it at this whole separate hierarchy under
/apps/qp/drop, and you're clearly using the username-hash scheme for
directories, you probably need to insure that /apps/qp/drop/r and
/apps/qp/drop/r/f exist too, along with /apps/qp/drop/a,
/apps/qp/drop/a/a, apps/qp/drop/a/b, etc. I wouldn't think qpopper
should be expected to walk back up its file path creating directories
on the fly as it goes.
