I have an issue to send an email with postfix sendmail on Ubuntu 21.04. ( error mesage specified below)
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
I would be happy for any advice or pointers.
Thanks!
OS: Ubuntu 21.04
postfix package: postfix/hirsute-updates 3.5.6-1ubuntu0.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 3.5.6-1]
When I try to send mail with postfix provided sendmail I get the following error:
... # verbose output omitted
postdrop: fifo_trigger: open public/pickup: cannot open file: No such device or address
postdrop: send attr status = 0
postdrop: send attr reason =
postdrop: vstream_fflush_some: fd 1 flush 18
sendmail: vstream_buf_get_ready: fd 5 got 18
sendmail: /usr/sbin/postdrop -r -v -v -v: wanted attribute: status
sendmail: input attribute name: status
sendmail: input attribute value: 0
sendmail: /usr/sbin/postdrop -r -v -v -v: wanted attribute: (list terminator)
sendmail: input attribute name: reason
sendmail: input attribute value: (end)
sendmail: /usr/sbin/postdrop -r -v -v -v: wanted attribute: (list terminator)
sendmail: input attribute name: (end)
Pickup fifo in fact exists:
prw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 24 12:29 /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup
I tried also a variant with unix socket instead of fifo, but got the same error (only unix_trigger instead of fifo_trigger).

All the solutions I found online have pointed to configuration change I already have in place i.e.
pickup fifo n - - 60 1 pickup
or
pickup unix n - - 60 1 pickup
Any idea?
