Im having a heck of a time figuring this one out! I'm betting I missed
something in config but "hellifikno"!
Mail's working for me in both directions. But when I start postfix I get in my
logs
==> mail.warn <==
Aug 18 13:19:51 tgdesktop postfix/postfix-script[11288]: warning: not
owned by group maildrop: /var/spool/postfix/public
Aug 18 13:19:51 tgdesktop postfix/postfix-script[11289]: warning: not
owned by group maildrop: /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
==> mail <==
Aug 18 13:19:51 tgdesktop postfix/postfix-script[11302]: starting the
Postfix mail system
Aug 18 13:19:51 tgdesktop postfix/master[11303]: daemon started --
version 2.9.6, configuration /etc/postfix
The only mention of maildrop I can find in any of the postfix configs is
cat /master.cf
...
maildrop unix - n n - -
pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d
${recipient}
...
Checking just to be sure that it's there
ls -al /usr/local/bin/maildrop
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 vmail vmail 238K Jul 14 07:07
/usr/local/bin/maildrop*
In my postfix config I don't use maildrop to deliver, instead I use dovecot
egrep virtual "main.cf|postdrop"
setgid_group = postdrop
virtual_mailbox_domains = $mydomain
virtual_mailbox_maps = lmdb:${config_directory}/vmailbox
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
virtual_alias_maps = lmdb:${config_directory}/virtual
I dug around online and found a bunch of suggestions & guesses about what to
do. Last attempt I did all of
systemctl stop postfix
killall -9 postdrop
chmod -x,g-w /usr/local/etc/postfix/*
chmod g-w /usr/local/etc/postfix/scripts/*
chgrp postdrop /usr/local/sbin/postqueue
chgrp postdrop /usr/local/sbin/postdrop
chmod g+s /usr/local/sbin/postqueue
chmod g+s /usr/local/sbin/postdrop
chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/public
chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
postfix set-permissions
postfix check
systemctl start postfix
with no errors afaict. But it still doesn't make that warning go away.
Is something actually broken in my setup? Or is this just a noisy warning I
can ignore? Can I fix it, or make it go away?
I'm not even clear on what to look for for the actual source of these messages
