The %post looks right, but I don't see my changes in the %files section. That
means that rpm -V shows mismatches on the directory ownership and mode.
Ideally the ownership and mode should be set up in %files, not in %post, but
of course that won't work on a first-time install since the defang user
doesn't exist, so you need both. Here's what I think needs to be in %files:

%attr(750,%{user},%{user}) %dir %{dir_spool}
%attr(755,%{user},%{user}) %dir %{dir_log}
%attr(750,%{user},%{user}) %dir %{dir_quarantine}
