>Description:
Postfix requires group "postdrop" in the setgid_group parameter if the
setting is not specified in the config explicitly.  It appears that in
NetBSD one is supposed to use "maildrop" instead.

I think the compiled-in value in the binaries that come with NetBSD (or
result from a build) should match the intended default for NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
After updating a system postfix will complain about unknown group
"postdrop" even though "maildrop" is listed in /etc/group, and there
is no "postdrop" group in /usr/src/etc/group either.
>Fix:
The following configuration will stop the error messages:

 # setgid_group: The group for mail submission and queue management
 # commands.  This must be a group name with a numerical group ID that
 # is not shared with other accounts, not even with the Postfix account.
 #
 setgid_group = maildrop

However, a better fix would be to make this the compiled-in default.
