Postfix error

[Mike Burger]

Well, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that you've got, in 
your /etc/postfix/main.cf, a line which reads:

"mailbox_command = /var/www/hivemail_process.php"

Since I know nothing of this hivemail_process.php file, what it's supposed 
to do, or why it's being called as a delivery agent, I'm not sure I can 
help you get it working.

However, Postfix does have its own, internal local delivery agent, or most 
systems use procmail as the delivery agent.

Changing the "mailbox_command" line to /usr/bin/procmail, instead of 
/var/www/hivemail_process.php, will probably solve the immediate problem, 
which appears to be not being able to deliver mail.  Excluding that, I'd 
refer you to whomever wrote that php script, and would have you ask if 
that's actually supposed to be called by postfix, or if it's supposed to 
be a web based program.
