Thanks - I thought maybe I was missing something...

It works for all. Everyone (eg. users in the group 'ppp') get server mode
except those in groups 'staff', 'users' and 'ftponly' - that is, whilst a pop
connection is made a copy of the mailbox exists called .user.pop and the
original mailbox is empty.

Thanks - I will try debug...
