In the today's report I've got from PFLogsumm about the Postfix 
activity from yesterday I have a warning that I see here :



Aug 24 19:48:55 servername postfix/postfix-script[1187]: warning: 
/var/spool/postfix/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and 
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt differ



first, what is surprising (to me) is that there is a copy of 
etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt contents in /var/spool/postfix/ssl ???


isn't /var/spool/postfix  for spooling mails ? so why finding 
configuration stuff there ? (ssl/cert, hosts, host.conf, localtime, 
nsswitch.conf, passwd, resolv.conf, services)



then that the ca-certificates.crt are different between the two places...


btw, if this is wanted, why the two cert files aren't in sync and why 
I don't get a warning each day with the report while the two cert 
files are out of sync since august 21 as I can see by the dates of the 
files ???



I've upgraded my server from buster to bullseye on august, 21, is it a 
side effect ?


You are running postfix chrooted, or you previously ran it chrooted and 
have not cleaned out the old chrooted files. If/when you are no longer 
running any postfix processes chrooted, you can remove a lot of cruft 
from /var/spool/postfix - including /var/spool/postfix/ssl.


This may be caused by a change in default behaviour: postfix <3.0.0 ran 
processes chrooted by default (i.e. where chroot entry in master.cf was 
set to '-'), this changed to non-chrooted by default for postfix >=3.0.0.
