Postfix-19990606-pl02 in /usr/ports/mail
>Description:
FreeBSD configures postfix to run with the SGID postfix-script.
This requires that the 'postdrop' program be installed sgid to
the same group that can write on the /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
directory. The FreeBSD-provided Makefile does not set the sgid
bit on the postdrop program or set the correct group for it when
installing.
With postdrop configured this way, local mailers cannot deposit
outgoing mail in the maildrop directory, so the remainder of the
delivery mechanism cannot pick it up to deliver.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix; make install; try to send local mail
>Fix:
Here is a diff on /usr/ports/mail/postfix/Makefile
