You didn't have to fix the "postdrop: warning: unable to look up
public/pickup: No such file or directory" problem?  Sending mail
shouldn't throw errors, especially that one, just because Postfix is not
running.   The expected behavior would be nothing at all, the command
would complete successfully, but nothing would be delivered until such
time as Postfix were started.
