Hi. I write Postfix so I please pay attention to what I write.
Going from 60 to 1 second is insane. It only masks the problem that your
maildrop program cannot notify the pickup daemon of a new submission.
Possible causes:
1) You may have a permission problem on one of the PARENT DIRECTORIES
of the Postfix $mail_queue_directory. By default this directory
is /var/spool/postfix. What is the output from:
$ ls -ld / /var /var/spool /var/spool/postfix
2) You may have a mis-configured SELINUX permissions. That will show
up as warnings under /var/log/whatever.
3) Some other form of brain damage.
