Switching SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) servers [1] will always cause
problems. When we first switched to Postfix [2], I had problems with the
email interface for mod_blog [3]. It turned out that postfix set the default
permissions of child processes to be restrictive and the patch was to relax
the default permissions.

Of course, I forgot about that with the software I wrote [4] for Spring [5].

But it didn't really matter since she rarely, if ever, used the email
interface.

Until today.

It took me quite a while to track down the problem and add a one line fix.
