>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)
