Yep, you need /etc/localtime in your chroot.  You also will want to
add a syslog log socket in your chroot as well.  The logs in your
original message are missing the data from the qmgr process, which
provides message size and other useful data.  The chroot for postfix
is to the spool directory, so you'll probably want to put localtime in
/var/spool/postfix/etc and add a -l /var/spool/postfix/dev/log to your
syslogd_flags.
