Actually you cannot get qpopper to NOT use the unix system authentication.
You can get it to ALSO use PAM or another way for authentication but it
also checks the system for a valid (unix) user. This is hardcoded into the
source (as of 3.0.2 which is Qualcomms latest).

Just this morning I commented out the code that does this user verification
and now have a modified qpopper on my test machine that ONLY uses PAM
(pam_ldap) for authentication (with a generic hardcoded uid to access files
as).
