Speaking of which, how many postdrop executables exist on the system?
Two. And the system postfix is still running even though it is supposed
to be disabled, because I shut down our postfix instance, and the
errors continue to appear. Even though there is no postfix master
running. It at least explains why I don't usually see this on most
customer systems. ;)
Don't forget that sendmail(1) is outside the persistent master-managed
Postfix service and can en-queue mail (to disk) for later delivery, even
when Postfix is *not* running (provided it does run eventually...).
Yeah, cron is calling the system sendmail, which is what is generating the
mail in /var/spool/postfix/maildrop. For some reason, this particular
system has nothing under /var/spool/postfix/public. I created a pickup
FIFO and set the ownership/group accordingly, and now that error no longer
shows.
Thanks for the help on this. :)
