    Hi all

    I found strange message in my /var/log/apache2/error.log

    Code:
    postdrop: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter setgid_group: unknown group name: postdrop
    sendmail: warning: premature end-of-input on /usr/sbin/postdrop -r while reading input attribute name
    sendmail: warning: command "/usr/sbin/postdrop -r" exited with status 1
    sendmail: fatal: www-data(33): unable to execute /usr/sbin/postdrop -r: Success
    Has anybody idea what does it mean? Google was not very helpfull :(

    In my /etc/postfix/main.cf is not line with setgid_group or postdrop ..

    My ispconfig box run for a long time and this message was not showed before ... should I be afraid?

    Thanx for any response ..

    Do you have a group called postdrop in /etc/group ?

    Ok, thats fine. Please add the line:

    setgid_group = postdrop

    to /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix.

    Done .. But still I have no idea why system works without this message for months and suddenly I get warning. Should I put this line to my other ispconfig boxes?
    Anyway thank you for solution.
