Actually, I was wondering when the Debian chroot of postfix would rear 
it's ugly head.  There is really no reason to chroot postfix.  Just edit 
postfix's master.cf file and change the chroot to no.  That's has been 
the most common answer on the postfix user list for Debian users. 
 Unless you are a secret masochist and like picking and choosing the 
files that will be necessary in the chroot jail.
