I think you need the alias file immediately as it is referenced from
the default configuration, however you can use the default aliases
file (or even a blank one for now, although at least postmaster:
your@address would be good to have in it).

I didn't want to do this, so I tracked down a perl popd written by
Tobin Fricke, and after a bunch of changes and cleanup ended up with
a pop server that just uses a private password file so that users
don't have to have a real login account. I also wrote a quick
popassd as well so they can change their password. I'll make these
available when they are stabilized if anyone is interested.

Yep, although it's not hard. But it does require reading the
configuration file and a fair amount of the very good manual (I just
wish Acrobat searched the PDF faster!).
