I believe Netscape Communicator causes this error to be logged when talking with qpopper. It doesn't cause a problem, so I just ignore it. I've conjectured (but haven't looked at POP3 documentation) that Communicator is interrogating the server for a feature qpopper doesn't have. Eudora also works fine, and doesn't generate the error.
