I recall that postfix services in Debian are run chrooted by default. [...] > local unix - n - - - local Doesn't above mean that "local" service is running chrooted? If so, the it doesn't know anything about your local user jacques. Try turning off the chroot for the local service, which according to http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html should not be used for local. -- Mateusz
