Do you have postdrop in /etc/group file?
Check it with

# grep postdrop /etc/group
postdrop:x:120:
 
root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group postdrop:x:120:

grep: postdrop:x:120:: No such file or directory

root@server / #
 
root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group

root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group

root@server / #

after enter is empty
 
Add this group with

/usr/sbin/groupadd postdrop

and try to change mailserver to postfix again.
