The command "postfix set-permissions" is available since Postfix 2.1 which was released in April 2004. Before Postfix version 2.3, the trace service was used only to report results for "sendmail -v" and "sendmail -bv". Postfix version 2.3 and later also use the trace service for RFC 3462 "success" delivery status notifications. > but that gave a string of (I think) meaningless errors - fix one, another > pops up, etc. (Now I'm up to "chown: cannot access > `/usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.bz2': No such file or directory") Your Postfix installation is badly inconsistent.
