Note, the "maildrop" in question is the group specified with
"setgid_group" and is unrelated to the "maildrop" LDA.

Check the compiled-in default value of "setgid_group".

That won't help, since the expected group is "maildrop".

This (executed as root) should normally set the correct permissions,

Post the output of:

        $ ls -ld /var/spool/maildrop
        $ ls -ld /usr/sbin/postdrop
        $ postconf config_directory setgid_group

On some BSD systems there is a Postfix in the base system as well as
a separate Postfix installed by the package manager.  In that case you
need to make sure you're listing the right binaries, and looking at
the right configs.
