again, maybe just un-blocking *every* MTA's queue directory (among
the MTAs that have this issue) might end up being the least bad answer.
In my simple mind I understand that Postfix (with a a default config)
needs write access to /var/spool/postfix/ in order to work,
and systemd is very careful about security and therefore gives only the
minimum required write access to monit, and seems to ignore that monit
sometimes sends emails and hence needs write access to /var/spool/postfix/
It seems to me that the packager of either monit or systemd should addÂ
/var/spool/postfix/ to monit's list of required read-write directories.
The issue is solved now and I'm happy, but it took me several
frustrating months to get there. So I'd vote +1 for trying to avoid this
to future users.
