Just fyi, in the future just post the output of postconf -n. That'll display
just the non-default settings, which is usually enough....

Also, the easiest way to diagnose problems is to look at the log file....

Without having seen the logs, I'd bet this is your problem. Uncomment it
and copy /etc/passwd to your chroot jail if you're running Postfix chrooted
(and if you're running a distro-supplied copy of Postfix, you almost
certainly are chrooted to /var/spool/postfix).
