If you really have a problem that you think would be solved by relocating the hold queue, you could mount another file system over the hold queue directory. That might work. But it might a bad idea. Not sure. You could also stop chrooting the process that produced the error message by changing its chroot value in /etc/postfix/master.cf from "yes" to "no" (5th column). But I personally think that's definitely a bad idea. cheers, raf
