I've been able to get lmtp to work in a chrooted environment. Took a lot of 
troubleshooting and use of 'truss' to figure out what was going on, but I 
did get it to work.

Here is a good link to check out:

I dont think you need to have the lmtp process run chrooted, especially 
after reading the article above.

What I would do is trace your smtpd process using a trace program (You said 
you use Debian...strace or ktrace should be available via apt-get I 
believe). Do that, check the output. That is how I was able to find out my 
initial problems when I was working with cyrus and postfix.

Hope that helps.
