[Bug 223376] Re: root, not postfix, owns /var/spool/postfix

[Scott Kitterman]

This is not actually a bug.  The correct solution is to have the cache
where a fresh Postfix install would put it:

data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
tls_random_exchange_name = ${data_directory}/prng_exch

This was the result of an upstream change for Postfix 2.5.  I'd suggest
changing your configuration to put the cache in /var/lib/postfix and
change the permissions back.  That's what a fresh install would have
given you.

Marking Won't Fix because if you'd upgraded with an old main.cf, you'd
have had the same situation.  We didn't come up with a safe way to
automatically make the change.

** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
