Mail Server question

[buc99]

I set up postfix to run on my computer. (TiBook OSX 10.1.3) But when I run sudo postfix start I get the following:
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid: /usr/sbin/postqueue
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid: /usr/sbin/postdrop
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

When I try to send something with Mail I get:

postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/897014.1684: Permission denied


This continues to repeat in an endless loop.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
SA

i would reinstall as root, dont sudo...

make sure you
useradd postfix
and
groupadd postdrop

then make, make install

and finally edit your /etc/main.cf

then postfix

and log out... should work like a charm.
