What popper do you use? I've been very unlucky so far finding a decently
configurable popper (apart from, of course, tinkering with the source before
compiling). I particularly like the concept of running everything non-root,
but right now my popper (qpopper) relies on the etc/passwd file to obtain
UIDs from. I would really appreciate anything you can recommend.

Thanks.
