I got a solution for my problem. I had to set

CHECK_UNOWNED

to "no" in /etc/security/msec/security.conf, so that the Mandrake
security scripts don't set ownership to nobody. Is this documented
somewhere?

Hope someone besides me has use for this information.

The server changes the ownership back to nobody himself,
how can I avoid this?

This worked, but why does the mail server set wrong ownership (nobody)
to the files, isn't this a bug?

verify the ownership of the mailbox file.
if the owner is nobody change the owner to the appropriate id

I have problems with some Outlook clients which want
to connect to the vpop3 daemon on my Mandrake box.

They get:

"-ERR cannot open mailbox /var/spool/vmail/hostname//username"
from the server.

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?

Thanks
