hi i have a problem how to chroot the postfix? because my postfix don't have chroot, any docs,links are appreciated. i need to run the mailscanner but it doesn't work, all the messages are hold to queue. i read this howto :Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS - Page 8 Make sure you have the chroot jail set up in /var/spool/postfix. You should be able to see etc, usr and lib directories inside /var/spool/postfix). If you haven't got the chroot jail setup already, then look in the examples directory of the Postfix documentation and you will find a script in there to set up it up for your operating system. If you can't find that, then see the "Problems or Errors" section further down this page. and i can't find, waiting for reply knivla

What's in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf now? Are /etc/postfix/main.cf and /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf identical? If not, copy /etc/postfix/main.cf to /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix and restart Apache.
What's in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf now? hi falko, the /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf now renamed to smtpd.conf.rpmsave and i renamed it to smtpd.conf and telnet..still the plain login is missing... Are /etc/postfix/main.cf and /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf identical? If not, copy /etc/postfix/main.cf to /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix and restart Apache. There is no /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf do I need to copy the all files in /etc/postfix/ or just only main.cf ? if still doesn't work... i will not install the mailscanner. Thanks Falko the great
