chrooting Postfix+SASL+TLS

[Alex Melkomukov]

Hi Dave,

I have setup /var/spool/postfix/var/state/salsauthd for that per a how-to
I read.  The normal socket was located in /var/state/saslauthd, so I
figured that was the correct location.

I guess I can try /var/spool/postfix/var/run and see if that works.
