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?
