This is not really a Postfix problem but an Apache one. Since Postfix
can easily deliver the mail as the roundup user it will have no problem
creating that directory if the first post was done by mail.

If the first issue is created through the web, Apache will not have the
permission to create this directory since it is only in the roundup
group. So it is really a configuration error.

That aside, I really don't like the fact that CGI's under Apache can't
run as a different user - it's damn frustrating and causes stupid
permission settings that is simply not secure. Hence we run roundup
server - maybe it's time to do a proper benchmark to see if the
mod_python version is really faster than roundup server.
