It sounds to me like the permissions or the ownership on /var/spool/postfix/maildrop (or wherever it is on your distribution) are wrong. On my mail server (Debian 3.0), we have: drwx-wx--T 2 postfix postdrop 35 Oct 13 06:47 /var/spool/postfix/maildrop The directory has to be writable by group postdrop, since the postdrop process runs as gid postdrop (or the user chosen at compile time). -- Samuel Merritt OpenPGP key is at http://meat.andcheese.org/~spam/spam_at_andcheese_dot_org.asc Information about PGP can be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~aegreene/pgp/
