Well, that's really #postfix's fault (referring to the freenode IRC channel): A lot of people come there and are looking for help when trying to setup mysql maps. That's because very often, they specify the mysql server als "localhost" - and the mysql client libraries will then try to use the unix socket. This socket is, of course, not present in the chroot. Now I know there are better ways around this - use proxymap(8), e.g., but frankly, I don't ever want to be responsible for any person entering #postfix and asking why his mysql maps don't work. Besides, I never understood why the Debian default installation chroots smtpd. Cheers Stefan P.S: One last remark: My packages are tagged as "experimental", meaning that apt(itude|-get) won't install them without further encouragement. I chose to do this for a reason.
