OK, here's the fix. "cucipop -v" shows that it wants to change user to "vpop", but that user does not exist, so it says authentication failed. What I did: adduser --system vpop adduser vpop mail Then mailboxes go in /var/spool/mail/$DOMAIN/$USER, and they need to be read and writable by the user vpop. So you can either make them belong to vpop and be u+rw, or just make sure they belong to group mail and make the g+rw. The latter seems to be the standard way of doing it. Question for debian-qa: how should we fix the package so this works out of the box? We can create a system vpop user during postinst of course, but would one of the existing system users (eg mail) work just as well? Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB (ex-VK3TYD).
