I'm seeing this continually from postfix:

Sep 11 09:24:05 zimbra postfix/postdrop[89912]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory


What's odd, is this file does exist, and it seems that pickup is actually running fine?

zimbra:public root# ps aux | grep pickup
_postfix 67255 0.0 0.0 81504 1228 ?? S 5:49PM 0:00.01 pickup -l -t fifo -u

Shows up being used in the log:

Sep 11 09:20:22 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: A2D521121C11: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:21:09 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: 9FD5B1121C61: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:22:24 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: B4B361121CC4: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:22:24 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: B544F1121CC5: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:22:24 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: CB61F1121CC6: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:23:09 zimbra postfix/pickup[84182]: E9DB21121CD3: uid=502 from=<zimbra> Sep 11 09:24:05 zimbra postfix/postdrop[89912]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory Sep 11 09:26:06 zimbra postfix/postdrop[90222]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory Sep 11 09:28:05 zimbra postfix/postdrop[90469]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory Sep 11 09:30:00 zimbra postfix/postdrop[90666]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory


FIFO exists:

zimbra:public root# pwd
/opt/zimbra/data/postfix/spool/public
zimbra:public root# ls -l
total 0
srw-rw-rw-  1 _postfix  _postdrop  0 Sep 11 17:49 cleanup

srw-rw-rw-  1 _postfix  _postdrop  0 Sep 11 17:49 showq


Any ideas on why this would be reporting above error every few minutes, when everything seems to be correct?
