Retrieving Mail for Virtual Users

OS: SuSE v9.0
MTA: Postfix v2.0.14
Popper: qpopper v 4.0.5

We have been experimenting with setting up virtual mailboxes for virtual
users / domains with no corresponding Linux user accounts and have
successfully queued mail. We activated qpopper to attempt to pick up mail
for these virtual users but cannot seem to get past the authentication:

telnet mail.server.com 110
+OK POP3 mail.server.com v2003.83 server ready
user virtual_user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

though the qpopper docs seem to specifically allow this exact syntax.

What am I missing here? Should I be using a different POP3 server?
If so, which one?

Thank you,
Lucky Leavell
