Minor Bugfix for Current: Error output in maillog
by kestralis from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z2SS)
In Slackware Current you might notice output in /var/log/maillog like this
Code:postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directoryfollowing the execution of scheduled cron (dcron) tasks. Fortunately it's very easy to gratify postdrop. As root, just execute
Code:# mkfifo /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup
# chown postfix:postdrop /var/spool/postfix/public/pickupThe error message goes away.
This does not appear to be an issue with stock installs of 14.2 Stable, only Current.
