Hi -
I suspect it is because of permissions because the Debian package has moved
the qmail installation around to be in the standard file system directories
but in order to package qmail like this they've had to softlink a load of
stuff back to /var/qmail (see the licencing restrictions of qmail for
explanation of this). Somewhere along the line the permissions have probably
been changed (maybe tightened up?).
If you're running unstable then the vpopmail source is in the package tree
so I'd use that as its probably been built to work with the debian qmail
source. You could also take this package as your starting point and get it
working with your release if you're running potato/woody but it will take a
bit of work.
