I think the postfix installer on debian set spermissions after each upgrade. (postfix set-permissions). So changing permission does not have a permanent effect.
If you want to use this plugin after all without changing the owner of /var/spool/postfix subdirectories – then here is what I’ve done:
# add user nagios to postfix group usermod -a -G postfix nagios
# add user nagios to postdrop group usermod -a -G postdrop nagios
# add user nagios to root group (very insecure) usermod -a -G root nagios
# allow directory listing for all postfix directories find /var/spool/postfix -type d -exec chmod g+x {} +
