Hi, this is no postfix nonsens, it is a nonsens in coniguration of postfix by mandrake. chroot is a very secure way to do something IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. Please, Mandrake, disable the chroot stuff of postfix (at least the default settings). It is not worth the trubble. disable all the chroot stuff in /etc/postfix/master.cf and the configuration is much easier.
