As I said: **I do not have root access** (the build service doesn't allow to build a package as root) what means that I can't add users or groups to the system too...
I modified the "configure" and "Makefile" to do not exit if the user / group test fails and included "vpopmail.dir", "vpopmail.uid" and "vpopmail.gid" to the source. It worked, but in the next releases I'll need to do again.. I appreciate Your help.
