as root:
chown -R <postfixuser>:<postfix-grp> /var/spool/postfix

Then run chmod in a similar fashion if needed so the permissions are as
required by Postfix.

However, if your file system has been screwed beyond repair, the worst
case scenario is that you've lost some mail. You do have a backup of
your configs right?
