Thoughts and writings of someone loving linux, the web and his iphone
After trying to setup postgrey, I had a lot of warning messages in my mail.log file like this:
May 7 12:26:19 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6065]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/713410.6065: Permission denied May 7 12:26:29 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6119]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/724102.6119: Permission denied May 7 12:26:29 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6065]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/734104.6065: Permission denied May 7 12:26:39 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6119]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/744803.6119: Permission denied May 7 12:26:39 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6065]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/754805.6065: Permission denied May 7 12:26:49 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6119]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/765505.6119: Permission denied May 7 12:26:49 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6065]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/775505.6065: Permission denied May 7 12:26:59 gandalf postfix/postdrop[6119]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/786207.6119: Permission denied
To get rid of this messages, I had to do the following:
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix check postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /var/spool/postfix/public postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
SOLUTION:
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# /etc/init.d/postfix stop root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# killall -9 postdrop root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/public root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix check root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix reload
Thank you !!
With mine it was:
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postqueue
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postdrop
And after chgrp-ing those two files to postdrop:
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/sbin/postqueue
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/sbin/postdrop
A ‘chmod g+s /usr/sbin/postqueue /usr/sbin/postdrop’ then fixed that.
thank you – a good tool to have in the howto
Thanks for the info. I had the same ownesrship and set-gid issues as Terry did. Strange thing is that this issue began after a power outage a few days ago.
Thank you. My problem was solved with this.
