Mailagent package broken?

I have made several attempts to install the mailagent_3.44-6.deb package 
from the stable tree without much success.
After installation, the command mailagent -I (for user installation) results 
in:

  bash: /usr/bin/mailagent: Permission denied

Mannually adding more rights seems to solve that, but the log file keeps 
complaining:

  mailagent[6]: starting SAVE /var/spool/mail/ben
  mailagent[6]: WARNING could not lock /var/spool/mail/ben
  mailagent[6]: WARNING was unable to get any lock on /var/spool
  /mail/ben
  mailagent[6]: ERROR could not save mail in /var/spool/mail/ben

and I can't seem to deal with that.
I am not really sure if I am overlooking some simple thing or if there is 
something wrong with the package. So I wander I anyone has managed to get 
this package working? Maybe I should divert to an older version?

Any suggestions appreciated.
