When trying to use sendmail from a script, it fails with
postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/690025.14220: Permission denied
Output from ls -la /var/spool/postfix looks like this which is identical to the output on another Mac with working sendmail:

I've searched the net for solutions and tried them, but they don't seem to work.
sudo postfix check gives me these messages:
postfix: Postfix is running with backwards-compatible default settings
postfix: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details
postfix: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=2" and "postfix reload"
/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: mydomain_fallback=localhost
The last line is repeated approx. 20 times.
sudo postfix set-permissions results in the same output, plus
chown: /usr/libexec/postfix: Operation not permitted
When I try sendmail with sudo (no idea if that should work), I get
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory
Any ideas how to fix that?
