I've just seen the same message again. I enabled maildrop in
/etc/postfix/main.cf, by adding this:

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop

I then tried to send a mail, and the log said:

Sep 30 18:54:44 pork postfix/pickup[14767]: 005837C086: uid=1000 from=<joy>
Sep 30 18:54:44 pork postfix/cleanup[14952]: 005837C086: message-id=<20000930185443.A14942@pork.gkvk.hr>

Sep 30 18:54:44 pork postfix/local[14954]: 005837C086: to=<joy@pork.gkvk.hr>, relay=local, delay=1, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock. )

Reloading postfix configuration (with /etc/init.d/postfix reload) was
necessary to make maildrop work. Why does this happen?
