  The interquark static potential for heavy mesons described by a massive One
Gluon Exchange interaction obtained from the propagator of the truncated
Dyson-Schwinger equations does not reproduced the expected Cornell potential. I
show that no formulation based on a finite propagator will lead to confinement
of quenched QCD. I propose a mechanism based on a singular nonperturbative
coupling constant which has the virtue of giving rise to a finite gluon
propagator and (almost) linear confinement. The mechanism can be slightly
modified to produce the screened potentials of unquenched QCD.
