In Qpopper 4.0.x there seems to be no option for that in the pre-compile
time configuration, but it can still be done.
Add the -C run-time option to your inetd.conf, something like this:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper popper -s -C
Or if you use a run-time configuration file, add the trim-domain option to
it.
See the Qpopper Administrator's Guide for details.
