>Environment:
PPP link to POP3 server
>Description:
The popclient-2.21.tgz (executable) is not correctly set up
for FreeBSD: it tries to exec /bin/mail and invokes it with
the argument "-d". (Mail is in /usr/bin and -d is apparently
a debugging flag.)
>How-To-Repeat:
As mail is being downloaded, the message
popclient: openmailpipe: exec
should appear and the download will fail.
>Fix:
Change MDA_PATH to "/usr/bin/mail"
Change MDA_ARGS to "-v $u" (anyway, omit the -d)
