However each time I try to send an email I get the following error:

Jun 17 16:59:58 mail postfix/qmgr[4473]: 67EAD50165: from=<post@mydomain.com>, size=343, ncrypt=1 (queue active) Jun 17 16:59:58 mail authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=<null>, sysuserid=5000, sysgroupid=5000, homedir=/var/spool/mail/virtual, address=post@mydomain.com, fullname=postmaster, maildir=/var/spool/mail/virtual/postmaster/, quota=<null>, options=<null> Jun 17 16:59:58 mail authdaemond: Authenticated: clearpasswd=<null>, passwd=8dsv4dfFFY1Ym Jun 17 16:59:58 mail postfix/pipe[4850]: 67EAD50165: to <post@mydomain.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=1088, delays=1088/0/0.06, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock at /var/spool/mail/virtual/postmaster/4751.0.mail. )

Does anyone know why I am always getting this error.

Because the userid and the groupid that maildrop is running as does not have the permission to create files in the given directory.
