/var/spool/postfix/maildrop error at my console?

[regis169]

Today I had a look at the console and found out I had strange errors at OS X boot time,

05/11/08 11:22:43 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master) Failed to count the number of files in “/var/spool/postfix/maildrop”: No such file or directory

It seems I've been having these error messages for a very long time. However, I don't recall having any problems with my Mac.

Should I just ignore this? Has anyone had the same messages before? Why am I having these error messages?

You restored from Time Machine didn't you? You'll have to recreate the directory via Terminal.

sudo mkdir /var/spool/postfix

sudo postfix stop
sudo postfix start

You shouldn't see that error after that.

Yes, I did.

Please forgive me for my ignorance & stupidity, but should I type

sudo mkdir /var/spool/posfix

and then type sudo postfix stop

and lastly type sudo postfix start?

Just to make sure I do nothing wrong at Terminal.

You'll hit return after the first line and then put in your password but you have the idea.

Thanks for your help.

I've had to do it myself so I'm one of the few people that knows the solution.
