root@servername:~# mkdir /var/spool/postfix/postgrey
root@servername:~# chown postgrey:postgrey /var/spool/postfix/postgrey
root@servername:~# chmod 750 /var/spool/postfix/postgrey
root@servername:~# nano /etc/default/postgrey
root@servername:~# adduser postfix postgrey

root@servername:~# service postgrey restart
