The master(5) default for chroot is "y", but that means nothing. Postfix ships with a master.cf with "n" in the chroot column. Debian changes that default. We get the complaints here. > otherwise 30%-50% of the typical problem reports would not exist Yes. Blame Debian. To be fair, if you follow Debian's instructions, their scripts populate and maintain the chroot. So blame Debian users for their failure to read Debian's documentation. But you are right; it's not a good idea. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
