Hi all,

Has anyone else suffered the following error in their daily security log. If yes, how did you resolve it

Message as follows:

Security Warning: World Writeable files found :
- /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
- /var/spool/postfix/private/bounce
- /var/spool/postfix/private/bsmtp
- /var/spool/postfix/private/cleanup
- /var/spool/postfix/private/cyrus
- /var/spool/postfix/private/defer
- /var/spool/postfix/private/error
- /var/spool/postfix/private/ifmail
- /var/spool/postfix/private/local
- /var/spool/postfix/private/rewrite
- /var/spool/postfix/private/smtp
- /var/spool/postfix/private/uucp
- /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup
- /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr
- /var/spool/postfix/public/showq

Is the postfix spool directory supposed to be world writable? If not, how can I rid the logs of this warning?

Wicked prog!!
