Hi, Michael. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for confirm.

It seems that support for NNTP was separated in Debian Stretch regarding
to Debian Jessie. I don't use NNTP, so I simply commented out the "nntp"
line in the /etc/cyrus.conf configuration file. I think I had tried that
before, although it seems to me that time I forgot to do it also with
the "nntps" line.

Then I tried again to start the service and now the error changed:

----------
Jan 15 14:13:59 mail cyrus/master[20737]: cannot find executable for
service 'http'
----------

But I'm not sure if this has been included in another separate package:

----------
root@mail:/var/run/cyrus/socket# aptitude search ^cyrus
idA cyrus-admin
        - Cyrus mail system - administration tools
c   cyrus-admin-2.4
        -
p   cyrus-caldav
        - Cyrus mail system - CalDAV and CardDAV support
idA cyrus-clients
        - Cyrus mail system - test clients
c   cyrus-clients-2.4
        -
idA cyrus-common
        - Cyrus mail system - common files
i   cyrus-common-2.4
        - Cyrus mail system - common files [dummy package]
p   cyrus-dev
        - Cyrus mail system - developer files
p   cyrus-doc
        - Cyrus mail system - documentation files
idA cyrus-imapd
        - Cyrus mail system - IMAP support
c   cyrus-imapd-2.4
        -
p   cyrus-imspd
        - Internet Message Support Protocol daemon
p   cyrus-murder
        - Cyrus mail system - proxies and aggregator
p   cyrus-nntpd
        - Cyrus mail system - NNTP support
p   cyrus-pop3d
        - Cyrus mail system - POP3 support
p   cyrus-replication
        - Cyrus mail system - replication
p   cyrus-sasl2-doc
        - Cyrus SASL - documentation
----------

The fact is that if I also comment out the "http" line, now it seems
that I get a syntax error:

----------
Jan 15 14:14:28 mail cyrus/master[20778]: configuration file
/etc/cyrus.conf: bad character '_' in name on line 101
Jan 15 14:14:28 mail cyrus/master[20778]: exiting
----------

I think the configuration file already came with the "squatter_a" line
and I just removed the comment. Unless this is a bug in the
configuration file provided by Stretch for Cyrus 2.5.10:

----------
 99         # reindex all mailboxes (fulltext) daily
100         # DGB - 20190114
101         squatter_a      cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus squatter" at=0517
----------

That's what I thought :-)

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,
Daniel
