Yes. All unix apps that send e-mail expect to do it by piping the mail
into /usr/sbin/sendmail. Despite the name, on FreeBSD that is not
actually sendmail-brand sendmail, but mailwrapper(8) -- a handy program
that redirects that piped input into the MTA of your choice.
(sendmail q.v. is actually in /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail)
Restore /usr/sbin/sendmail and verify that the contents of
/etc/mail/mailer.conf are sane, and qpopper should spring into life again=
