Perhaps you are running postmap as ROOT; Postfix runs as on-root. Perhaps you have chroot enabled in master.cf. This is the default on debian/ubuntu. See http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#no_chroot Change the master.cf entry should to this: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -----------------------------------^^^ Using chroot requires additional setup.
