The second document describes how to use saslauthd with a chrooted postfix. But that doesn't apply on my case since I don't use saslauthd. It should be mentioned somewhere that using sasl with the sql plugins and a chrooted smtpd can make you run into problems. Probably because sasl can't access the mysql socket. (though the config option sql_hostnames: localhost somehow implies that sasl is using the lo network to access mysql...) I have also heard several times that running postfix chrooted is discourages from upstream and brings more troubles that it resolves.
