Description Robert Nordier 1995-12-28 19:30:02 UTC 
       The popclient-2.21.tgz (executable) is not correctly set up
       for FreeBSD: it tries to exec /bin/mail and invokes it with
       the argument "-d". (Mail is in /usr/bin and -d is apparently
       a debugging flag.)

Fix: 

Change MDA_PATH to "/usr/bin/mail"
	Change MDA_ARGS to "-v $u" (anyway, omit the -d)
How-To-Repeat: 
	As mail is being downloaded, the message 

	     popclient: openmailpipe: exec

        should appear and the download will fail.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Fixed in -current with the upgrade of the popclient port to 
version 3.0b6.
