Hi Bill, The following is an extract of "postfix_conf_parameters.html" found at www.postfix.org: setgid_group (default:postdrop) The group ownership of set-gid Postfix commands and of group-writable postfix directories. When this parameter value is changed, you need to re-run "postfix set-permissions". (With Postfix 2.0 and earlier:"/etc/postfix/post-install set-permissions") By the looks of it, you cannot have an empty value next to "setgid_group".
