 The error message tell you that the line 3 of the config file contains an

 So what does the config file look like?

 /etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config

 set tls-support = alternate-port
 set tls-options = 0x00000800
 set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/pop/pop3.nk.ca.2008.crt
 set tls-private-key-file = /etc/mail/pop/pop3.nk.ca.2008.key
 set config-file = /etc/mail/pop/qpopper-tls.config

Version 4.0 and earlier have an issue with spaces and quotes around file names. I no longer remember the specifics on which work and which do not (It appears to be corrected in 4.1). Remove the spaces around the file names first and if that doesn't solve it, add double quotes around the file name.

Hi Doug,

This is good advice.

To "The Doctor": please try what Doug suggests and let us know if you still have a problem. Or, upgrade to Qpopper 4.1, which fixed the problem.

Also, I don't find any reference to the tls-options entry in the qpopper admin guide. Are you sure thats a valid config command?

It's in the /current/ Admin Guide, but hasn't made it to the 4.1 branch yet, sorry about that. It's also the samples/qpopper.config file for all three branches:

# This option allows various OpenSSL options to be set.  OpenSSL
# options are individual bits that control various work-arounds.
#
# The bit values are listed in openssl/ssl.h, and start with SSL_OP_.
# You must specify the actual value of the bit(s) you want to set,
# not the OpenSSL mnemonic.
#
# For example, to set SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS, set
# tls-options to 0x00000800.
#
# Note that unlike other options, if you set this option more than
# once, the values are added together.  For example, if you set
# tls-options to 0x01, and then later set it to 0x10, it gets set to
# 0x11.  This makes is somewhat more convenient to set various SSL
# options without having to manually add them together.
#
# Only valid if '--with-openssl' used with ./configure
#
# Default: 0
#
# set tls-options              = 0
