Hi All,

I have a new postfix configuration (which is actually a migration from Sendmail 
running on Debian Lenny with Postfix 2.5.5) where the user wishes to enable 
vacation messages.

We wish to use the 'vacation' utility which is configurable through 
Squirrelmail, however I've noticed a strange phenomenon.

When the vacation program tries to send out the away message to the sender, it 
attempts to invoke postdrop and this results in the logs showing:
        mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/684525.5891: Permission denied 

Postdrop is in fact running as the local Linux user (this machine is running 
many virtual domains) to which the mail is destined - obviously this user does 
not have access to the /var/spool/postfix/maildrop directory which has the 
following permissions:
        drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 4096 2010-11-15 16:52 
/var/spool/postfix/maildrop

Does anyone know how I might get vacation to work in this way?

Many thanks,
Jonathan
