[SOLVED] postfix error

[simon_lefisch]

Hello everyone,

I am receiving a postfix error as shown in the pic below

I have search all over for the "permission denied" part of the error but cannot find anything about it. All I see is the error with "No such file or directory." I'm at a bit of a loss here. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It looks to be a permissions issue for /var/spool/postfix/pickup but I don't know wha those are supposed to be. Tried "postfix set-permissions" but nothing.

Hoping someone can shed a little light on what's going on. Happy to provide any extra need info. Thanks in advance

Run postfix set-permissions

Run postfix set-permissions

Hi @Trevor, I already ran that and nothing (see the last couple lines of my post). Any other ideas? Is that pickup file supposed to be 0b?

[TrevorH]

I don't have a pickup file there at all.

Hmm...interesting. I did look at my Samba/NFS server which is CentOS 7 as well and I also do not have that file. I do not have postfix installed on that filer server either, but yea....now I'm curious as to what is going on then.

the pickup socket should be under /var/spool/postfix/public

look at your /etc/postfix/ configuration, maybe something points to the wrong location?

Code: Select all

srw-rw-rw-.  1 postfix postfix     0 Jan  6 15:22 cleanup
srw-rw-rw-.  1 postfix postfix     0 Jan  6 15:22 flush
srw-rw-rw-.  1 postfix postfix     0 Jan  6 15:22 pickup
srw-rw-rw-.  1 postfix postfix     0 Jan  6 15:22 qmgr
srw-rw-rw-.  1 postfix postfix     0 Jan  6 15:22 showq

I do have that there and the permissions are correct. Not sure why there is a pickup file under /var/spool/postfix. The thing is, I havent changed anything with postfix.

[simon_lefisch]

Can anyone post the content and permissions of their postfix directory (/etc/postfix/....)? I'd like to compare it to mine. Also if you can post your /etc/postfix/main.cf so I can check that as well, that would be great. I need to get this issue resolved as I have a bunch of stuff that relies on sending out notifications....namely smartmontools/fail2ban/mdadm.

Also, of anyone else has any other ideas about how to fix this issue, that would be great. Thank you!!

Run rpm -V postfix and see what files have been changed.

Thanks @Trevor. Output of rpm -V postfix is:

Code: Select all

S.5....T.  c /etc/postfix/main.cf

I havent made any changes to that file
