Postfix doesn't want to deliver mail to a uid 0 account. The postfix
aliases file has a little note reminding you to set an alias for root that
is a non-root user that goes to a human. I think this is the problem.
Postfix was designed to not run with elevated permissions, and I don't
think you should give extra permissions to it or procmail.
Even if its an account called rootmail that does nothing but gets root's
e-mail, having that around is much better than chmod +s 'ing any of the
binaries that aren't already set that way.
