Ah, I think I see what your problem is.
popa3d is a daemon, not a "user program" to be run whenever you want POP3
services.
Please read the setup/install notes in the distribution.

popa3d isn't designed to be run by users, but rather via either an
inetd/xinetd issued runtime, *OR* run as a persistent standalone daemon out of
/etc/rc.d/*
If your server's anticipated pop3 load is low, I'd just add (or replace)
whatever entry you have in /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinet.d/*) to run popa3d
on the POP3 port.

No, its configuration is compiled into the daemon. It's lean-and-mean.
