It's described in INSTALL:

The logging is done via syslogd, so you configure it in
/etc/syslog.conf.  You might need to assign a dedicated logging
facility to popa3d, that is done in its params.h.

Both of your questions (without the POP-before-SMTP bit, though) have
been previously discussed on this list, so I suggest that you search
the archives:
