Hi Bill,

The following is an extract of "postfix_conf_parameters.html" found at
www.postfix.org:

setgid_group (default:postdrop)
The group ownership of set-gid Postfix commands and of group-writable postfix
directories.
When this parameter value is changed, you need to re-run
"postfix set-permissions".
(With Postfix 2.0 and earlier:"/etc/postfix/post-install set-permissions")

By the looks of it, you cannot have an empty value next to "setgid_group".
