The premise is false. On all the systems I've used, the "private" directory belongs to the "$mail_owner" user: $ ls -ld /var/spool/postfix/private/ drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 24 Mar 3 02:49 /var/spool/postfix/private/ and connections to peer services (e.g. to tlsmgr(8)) often happen after privs are dropped. Some requests may happen before that, but the directory must be generally readable by $mail_owner. -- Viktor.
