just fixed that for a customer and wanted to let you know about my findings:
First of all, stop postfix, check if it is still running, kill it if necessary and well here are the shell commands
- systemctl stop postfix (old: /etc/init.d/postfix stop)
- killall -9 postdrop
- chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/public
- chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/
- postfix check
- systemctl start postfix (old: /etc/init.d/postfix start)
If that doesn´t help, you might also want to try:
- /etc/postfix/post-install upgrade-permissions
- /usr/sbin/postfix set-permissions
Hope it helps!
