One significant change of 4.94-1 configuration is mail_spool: driver = appendfile - file = /var/mail/$local_part + file = /var/mail/$local_part_data Which is needed for 4.94 (avoid tainting) but will only work with 4.94 because the check_local_user router option only sets $local_part_data on 4.94. Do a proper upgrade (dist), including the daemon binaries and you should be fine. I will try to update the Debian packaging to prevent instalation of this non-working combination. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
