I have postfix installed and configured on my Mac OS 10.6.3 machines.  It works 
correctly because the unix mail program works fine and sendmail interface can 
send emails as well.  However, I encounter this strange problem.  The printing 
commands, lpr and lp, have the -m switch which sends an e-mail on completion of 
a print job.  This email is not delivered and in /var/log/mail.log I see the 
following error:

May  7 00:00:04 MacBookPro postfix/sendmail[6309]: fatal: execvp 
/usr/sbin/postdrop: Operation not permitted
May  7 00:00:05 MacBookPro postfix/sendmail[6308]: warning: command 
"/usr/sbin/postdrop -r" exited with status 1
May  7 00:00:05 MacBookPro postfix/sendmail[6308]: fatal: _lp(26): unable to 
execute /usr/sbin/postdrop -r: Unknown error: 0

Can someone give me a clue as to what is wrong?  Funny thing is that sometimes 
it starts working on its own and then stops again.
