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 !!

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.
