How to fix the "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop" error?

I keep getting the following message in my console:
com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory
I searched but could not find the solution and the only one that had a solution can't be replied to anymore, and unfortunately that solution didn't work for me.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I found this solutions:
"Make sure Server Admin is not running.
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and change:
smtpdclientrestrictions = permit_mynetworks zen.spamhaus.org permit
to:
smtpdclientrestrictions = permit_mynetworks rejectrblclient zen.spamhaus.org permit
When done issue:
sudo postfix reload"
Here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6361105
Problem is those instructions are over my head. Can someone explain the process better to a lay person? The thread is too old to reply.

"/var/spool/postfix/maildrop" Missing After Time Machine Restore

Hello,
After performing a full restore via Time Machine, the following error message appears constantly in my console:
3/8/08 9:48:00 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master) Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory
After performing a Google search and reading the Apple discussions, it appears that Time Machine excludes the /postfix/maildrop directory from its backups. While this seems to be the problem, I can't find a solution as to how to fix it. I suppose I could create the directory but I don;t want to do this before I am certain as to what its purpose is.
Any help or point in the right direction will be appreciated.
Cheers

After doing some more digging on the Internet, I believe I have found the solution. Here's a link to the original post by carbonite19: http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t87650.html
Use these instructions at your own risk.
CONSOLE ERROR MESSAGE:
com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master) Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory</code>
THE FIX:
Open terminal make sure you are at root directory and type:
sudo mkdir /var/spool/postfix [enter]
<password> [enter]
postfix stop [enter]
postfix start [enter]
The postfix folder is created and the directories are rebuilt.
This seemed to work for me. Be sure to read the original post for more information.

How I fixed the iTunes 7.5 installation error

Hello, just wanted to say that after two days I figured out an easy way to fix the problem I had after downloading iTunes 7.5. I was getting an buffer overrun error on QuickTime and knew that iTunes wouldn't open because of QuickTime. I re-installed iTunes and went into safemode and deleted everything that referenced QuickTime. Then I downloaded an older version of QuickTime here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72forwindows.html and after that was able to open iTunes. Good luck to everyone. After reading the boards for two days I know that I'm not the only one with this issue.

Hi Niel,
I tried the instructions and I received another message which said: "The module ".d11" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found." Thank you for responding! Any other suggestions for this issue? Help!

Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder before installing the new copy? If not then do so and delete the new application also.

Dear Vam,
you can easily do that with css, search the source code of the executed web template for the td tag which is around your coloumn header, remember the style sheet class name it is ´displayed as class= in the td tag.
Now you can add this code the beginning of your web template:

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

Hi,
Follow the below steps . Definately your issue will bve resolved.
Let us suppose you are printing following fields
PH &v_text&
PH &v_text1&
PH &v_text2&
you will get the output as you expected.
and if you have any conditions for these fileds
/: if v_text is not initial.
PH &v_text&
/: endif
PH &v_text1&
PH &v_text2&
if you have data in each field then you will get output as expected .
But when v_text is initial.
the data will be moved up wnhich is happening in your case.
so what you need to do is?
/: if v_text is not initial.
PH &v_text&
/: else
PH (Here you need to mention empty line with same paragraph format
/: endif.
PH &v_text1&
PH &v_text2&
Reward points if useful

If they are iTunes purchased music then go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All.
Next
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

how i fix the error 1015 for my iphone3g coz my phone i opining and also i can use since i face that problem

Yes, if it has been jailbroken, then there is probably nothing that you can do and you will never be able to use it, so ditch it and buy a new phone.
If it's an iPhone 3g, then it is a very old phone anyway and you shoud consider buying a new one.

Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.

It is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
