Your permissions are fine, most likely, so don't go changing them on a
whim... I don't really remember exactly where the TNAF expander writes
its temp files, but a guess would be /tmp, so ... check that postfix
has perms to write/create directories there... Also, do you use the
external or internal TNEF expander?
