Both vm1 and vm2 have wrong permissions for both postqueue and postdrop from postfix: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15064 Oct 29 21:47 /usr/sbin/postdrop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15016 Oct 29 21:47 /usr/sbin/postqueue while it should have been, and is, on hw1: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root maildrop 14068 Oct 29 19:15 postdrop -rwxr-sr-x 1 root maildrop 14056 Oct 29 19:15 postqueue On both the faulty machines this is also noted in /var/log/messages at startup of postfix: .. warning: not owned by group maildrop: /usr/sbin/postqueue .. warning: not owned by group maildrop: /usr/sbin/postdrop .. warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/sbin/postqueue .. warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/sbin/postdrop Result is that mailing on both machine does not work: mls@srv096:~> echo hello|mail -s hi mls mls@srv096:~> postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/226002.7648: Permission denied mls@srv096:~> mls@srv096:~> postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/227179.7648: Permission denied postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/227801.7648: Permission denied The warning message keeps repeating every couple of seconds and can not be stopped. The same happens in /var/log/mail*. Only a kill of the postdrop process shut it up. Obviously delivery of mail also failed. As the clean install of RC2 on hw1 has the right permissions, I suspect that the initial install of RC1 on vm1 had the wrong permissions *and* the dup to RC2 on vm2 didn't fix it.
