It sounds to me like the permissions or the ownership on
/var/spool/postfix/maildrop (or wherever it is on your distribution) are
wrong.=20

On my mail server (Debian 3.0), we have:=20

drwx-wx--T    2 postfix  postdrop       35 Oct 13 06:47 /var/spool/postfix/=
maildrop

The directory has to be writable by group postdrop, since the postdrop
process runs as gid postdrop (or the user chosen at compile time).=20
