Package: mailutils-pop3d
Version: 1:0.6.1-4sarge2
Severity: important

Here is an example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet pop3.shuttle.de 110
Trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX...
Connected to pop3.example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 Ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user testuser
+OK
pass xxxxxx
+OK opened mailbox for testuser
list
+OK
.
quit
-ERR Some deleted messages not removed
Connection closed by foreign host.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

In that case the file /var/mail/testuser does not exist and the daemon
opens /dev/null:

May 18 11:59:17 pop3 gnu-pop3d[21185]: Incoming connection opened
May 18 11:59:17 pop3 gnu-pop3d[21185]: connect from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
May 18 11:59:22 pop3 gnu-pop3d[21185]: User `testuser' logged in with mailbox 
`/dev/null' (0 messages)
May 18 11:59:28 pop3 gnu-pop3d[21185]: Session ended for user: testuser

But when closing /dev/null it seems to get confused and sends the
above error-message to the client. Needless to say that this
confuses the user behind the client ;-)

If it exists and is empty, no error is displayed.
