MailWatch Issue after upgrade

[Shawn Iverson]

I don't recall which OS/distro you are using, but check permissions from
/var all the way down and verify that your web server daemon user is part
of the mtagroup.  If you are using php-fpm, this user it runs as can be
different from the web server.

You should have the following:

/var/spool/postfix
drwxr-x---.  2 postfix mtagroup   6 Dec 25 12:07 hold
drwxr-x---.  2 postfix mtagroup   6 Mar 23 08:01 incoming

/var/spool
drwxr-xr-x. 19 root      root      250 Feb  1 20:05 postfix

/var
drwxr-xr-x. 15 root root      194 Feb 16 20:53 spool
