>Description:
After install postfix (or postfix-current), postfix-script will check if all
directrories exists or create them, at this time postfix-script will source
install.cf which generated by INSTALL.sh.
But during installing procedure, we didn't run INSTALL.sh, so that install.cf
doesn't exist. then postfix-script will create spool directories with default
owner and group, postfix:wheel, which should be postfix:maildrop if everything
goes well.
Since installing procedure install postfix-script-sgid as postfix-script,
we should run INSTALL.sh first, or just put a default install.cf into
/usr/local/etc/postfix, so that postfix-script can source install.cf and
chgrp /var/spool/postfix/maildrop correctly.
With wrong group of /var/spool/postfix/maildrop, postfix/postdrop will
always complain like this:

Sep 23 09:15:20 utopia postfix/postdrop[83960]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/979716.83960: Permission denied
BTW, INSTALL.sh will update symbolic link and manpage as well.
