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.

Your Postfix installation is badly inconsistent. All warranties
are void at this point.

It does not matter. You need to first fix the inconsistencies.
