problem with postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/631329.7980: Permission denied
peceka
i've created jail on FreeBSD system and put postifx into it.
When i'm in jail and want to send mail i've got many such errors:
Apr 21 16:30:49 rt postfix/postdrop[7852]: warning: mail_queue_enter:
create file maildrop/103703.7852: Permission denied
Apr 21 16:31:14 rt postfix/postdrop[7980]: warning: mail_queue_enter:

Apr 21 16:31:44 rt postfix/postdrop[7980]: warning: mail_queue_enter:
create file maildrop/625766.7980: Permission denied
i've double checked if permissions are correct (directory structure
and permissions are made by postfix-script):
host# ls -l /var/jails/jail1/var/spool/postfix/
total 28
drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 512 Apr 21 13:51 active
drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 512 Apr 21 13:51 bounce
drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 512 Apr 21 13:03 corrupt

drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Apr 21 13:27 pid

drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 512 Apr 21 13:03 saved
drwx------ 2 postfix wheel 512 Apr 21 13:03 trace
host#
when i do:
chmod o+wx /var/jails/jail1/var/spool/postfix/maildrop
file is created but got another error:
Apr 21 16:39:48 rt postfix/postdrop[8004]: warning: unable to look up
public/pickup: Permission denied
so when i do:
chmod o+gx /var/jails/jail1/var/spool/postfix/public
sending mails is working.
but when i'm testing sending mails on outside jail everything is
working even when:
drwx-wx--- 2 postfix maildrop 512 Apr 21 13:51 maildrop
drwx--x--- 2 postfix maildrop 512 Apr 21 13:47 public
can somebody help me how to resolve this problem without changing
default permissions?
TIA,

You broke the file permissions, or your file system does not support
setuid/setgid execution.
To correct the permissions execute the command:
# postfix set-permissions
(this requires Postfix 2.1 or later).
