Really? No "y" in the fourth column of master.cf? Perhaps fo just one
or two lines? So that you have a "mixed" setup, where some try run in
the jail, some don't ...? (Depending on which, one might see a problem

Do you employ split log files? If so, is there anything in the
error/warning files at that time?

When you stop postfix, does all the PF processes die? If not, what
state are they in?
