(I don't use qpopper under Debian (I use gnu-pop3d) so this may be a
different. But I do use qpopper on another machine.)
qpopper has a run-time option "-s" for enabling statistics logging which
includes the username (and number of deleted messages, amount of delete
octets, messages left on server, octets left on server, name of client
machine and IP of client). Read the man page for in.qpopper. It may
show this. If so, then place the -s after it in your /etc/inetd.conf file
and reload inetd.
