I could be wrong, but I don't think that popper supports this type of model. popper is designed to work with the end user's MUA. popper is not an MTA as is sendmail. uucp model perhaps...?
Have you tried 'fetchmail' or 'formail' to move the mail from the ISP to the local mail server? Failing that, you could work with the ISP to set up your accounts as a mail gateway (ontheir end) and they forward directly to your mail server (requires an MTA on the server - usually, but does not have to be, sendmail - to receive and queue the mail... The server then requires it's own popper. Of course, this requires that you - or your ISP - provide DNS services complete with MX records to direct the mail... You *do* have your own name space...?
