>Description:
Installed 5.0_RC3. Never setup any email on it.

Few days later noticed many postdrop processes and much noise in logs,
like:

Mar 16 22:00:05 new-host postfix/postdrop[18865]: warning: mail_queue_enter: 
create file maildrop/964063.18865: No such file or directory
Mar 16 22:00:15 new-host postfix/postdrop[18865]: warning: mail_queue_enter: 
create file maildrop/979657.18865: No such file or directory
...
Mar 30 16:54:03 new-host-4 postfix/postdrop[868]: warning: mail_queue_enter: 
create file maildrop/992489.868: No such file or directory
Mar 30 16:54:04 new-host-4 postfix/postdrop[8886]: warning: mail_queue_enter: 
create file maildrop/823024.8886: No such file or directory

$ sudo zgrep 'ning: mail_queue_e' /var/log/maillog* | wc -l
  147731

>How-To-Repeat:
Installed NetBSD 5.0_RC3.
>Fix:
Don't continually log mail problems.
Preferably have some working mail in default install.
(As for me, I will probably install my own SMTP-out "mailout" tool
and don't run any daemon for mail.)
