Note: these are not what the permissions should be with Postfix
version 2.

What is the output of:

ls -l `postconf -h queue_directory`

It should be:

drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop ... /some/where/postfix

What is the output of:

ls -l `postconf -h command_directory`/postdrop

It should be:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root postdrop ... /some/where/postdrop

These permissions are set with "postfix set-permissions", which
uses the permission/ownership from $config_directory/postfix-files.
