This shows that something has messed up your configuration such
that the Postfix sendmail and postdrop programs no longer work.
In the logfile record above, there are several error messages:
postdrop: error: untrusted configuration directory name:
/usr/local/cutedge/postfix/etc
postdrop: fatal: specify "alternate_config_directories =
/usr/local/cutedge/postfix/etc" in /etc/postfix/main.cf
sendmail: warning: command "/usr/sbin/postdrop -r" exited with
status 1
sendmail: fatal: sender-localpart@sender-domain(78): unable
to execute /usr/sbin/postdrop -r: Unknown error: 0
Does the pathname "/usr/local/cutedge/postfix/etc" appear in the
spam filter script?
