OCI Oracle Linux 7 postfix postdrop #error #bug #fix

Are you running an OCI Oracle Linux 7 instance and getting postfix postdrop errors when you try and send mail ?

postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory 

bug fix

# mkfifo /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup # systemctl restart postfix 
# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/public/ total 0 srw-rw-rw-. 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 17 11:38 cleanup srw-rw-rw-. 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 17 11:38 flush srw-rw-rw-. 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 17 11:38 pickup srw-rw-rw-. 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 17 11:38 qmgr srw-rw-rw-. 1 postfix postfix 0 Feb 17 11:38 showq 

however amazing / good you think the OCI 'AlwaysFree' platform is unfortunately support is NOT FREE so even though there is an OFFICIAL bug report you cant see the answer without paying out some dosh

so many thanks to the following for publishing the oracle linux postfix bug fix for FREE !
