I'd be very interested in the response that the postfix author (and other vastly more knowledgable people than I, like Victor) would give to the people who claim that if it isn't chrooted, it isn't secure. The only answer I can give right now is 'well, I've heard the author Witese enema) on the email support list say that it doesn't really provide any more security and isn't worth the headache'. :) -- Best regards, Charles
