Hi, I've got a number of message (150-200) on each of three mail relays stuck in the maildrop queue generating pickup permission denied warnings as follows:
Jan 3 18:18:29 megalon postfix/pickup[12469]: warning: maildrop/BC4872E769C: Permission denied The messages are not particularly unusual. The permission of the maildrop directory are: drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Jan 3 17:30 And the files are all: -rwx------ 1 postfix postfix 3973 Dec 2 20:19 84AA92E75BC And I can do 'sudo -u postfix postcat <QUEUEFILE>' on them and see the messages. I can also do postsuper -d <QUEUEFILE> on individual messages and delete them that way.
