I like that peculiar idea; I would do that just to see if it works!
But fortunatelly I'm running OpenBSD :)
So, I must turn off the mail_chroot option, and also strip the 
trailing /./ from the users' homedirs in the userdb file, right?
I know that in the config file you wrote that the chrooting is not 
really needed, but if there is a tiny hope, I want to take a chance :)
