Niklas mentioned he's on Debian, and I don't think the syslogd there
is able to route by ident.

Niklas, -- you need to route those messages wherever you want by the
facility value they carry.  You can adjust that in params.h when you
build popa3d.

The reason it's not facility "mail" by default is that "mail" is for
use by MTAs, not by mailbox access programs such as a POP3 server.
