It was the low entropy of /dev/random - after disallowing APOP everything

That's what I wrote yesterday ...
Yes, just assumed that
#allowapop: yes
meant that it was commented out thus disabled. Was probably me setting
it explicitly to allowed when installing the server sometime later
trying do disable it by commenting it out. Wrong. Assumptions are futile.
Thanks for the patience :-)
The "1" indicates that it's on by default
Another thing learned ;-)
You have to specify the source prior to compilation with "configure":
--with-devrandom=PATH set the path to /dev/random [/dev/random]
Any way to achieve the same effect with debian packages?
You need to ask the Debian people for that.
Will do.
A startup option maybe?
Hardly.
:-(
Have a good remainder of the weekend
