It's a subset of "postconf | grep _directory" output:
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
Each has specific requirements for ownership and permissions.
If in doubt, run "postfix set-permissions".
Also. if you run the Postfix local delivery agent,
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
