no, the failing policy services are in main.cf, not master.cf
I fixed the problem by adding etc/hosts under /var/spool/postfix.
"man smtpd" doesn't say the postfix is automatically always chrooted, only:
SECURITY
The SMTP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to SMTP
clients and to DNS servers on the network. The SMTP server __can be__
run
chrooted at fixed low privilege.
First time I've ever seen postfix not use /etc/hosts, but I expect something
else is misconfigured.
