If i try to send a message using kmail, postfix will not deliver the message: Nov 11 18:20:27 dinu postfix/pipe[2046]: 27C9228922: to=<ti@test.ro> , relay=maildrop, delay=11964, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /var/tmp/aaa/bin/maildrop: Cannot set my user or group id. ) Also, the rights are the following: [root@dinu home]# ls -l /var/tmp/aaa/bin/maildrop -rwxr-xr-x 1 postfix vmail 150920 nov 11 18:20 /var/tmp/aaa/bin/maildrop

Either configure postfix to run maildrop with the recipient's uid/gid, or install maildrop as setuid root.

The first one is a tough one with Postfix for vmail configurations and requires setting up virtual_mailbox_maps and local_recipient_maps carefully and properly.

The setuid approach is much simpler.
