    I'm not sure. I was just hoping someone might know of a doc somewhere
    that explained the pros and cons of running postfix chrooted beyond
    what's in the Basic Config Readme.

    It seems that chroot was the standard pre 2.0, but now it's less liked.

    Did something change?

    I've always chosen to run postfix chrooted for the added security, but I
    don't know what the down side is to my choice.

    I'm sorry I'm not being very clear.
