Help me again please.

"The postman which works in this village is very old.
"The postman who works in this village is very old."

Are these sentences correct? Are they conveying the same meaning?
I am a bit confused with the use of relative pronoun...thanks

Welcome, rain20. Only #2 is correct. As a relative pronoun, which can't be used to refer to people, only things and places.
