  ... but isn't this the old problem where you have to put the program
name *twice* if you aren't using tcp wrappers or some such?

     "The server program arguments should be just as arguments normally are,
     starting with argv[0], which is the name of the program.  If the service
     is provided internally, the word ``internal'' should take the place of
     this entry."

This is screwing up recognition of the "-f" config parameter because
"-f" is ending up as argv[0] for qpopper.  Put a second instance of
/usr/local/sbin/popper in that line and you're set.
