I don't see how POP is connected to ftp users?

This from mail/qpopper/Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-apop=${PREFIX}/etc/qpopper/pop.auth \
                --enable-nonauth-file=/etc/ftpusers \
                --with-apopuid=pop --without-gdbm \
                --enable-keep-temp-drop

Does it make sense to do things that way?  If an auth file is to be used at all, why not use one 
with an appropriate name (e.g. /etc/popusers).

The current setup breaks POLA.
