0% possibility of success. How exactly are you plainning to have the
chrooted webmail binary read maildirs outside of the chroot jail?
Wouldn't it be possible to have a home directory in the new root which
would be a like to the real /home?
So, if:
1) You move all the necessary dynamic libraries into the chroot jail
2) You move all the mail accounts into chroot jail
3) Since sending mail involves running a small shell script stub, you'll
need to move at least /bin/sh into the chroot jail too
and
4) What you end up in your chroot jail isn't much different than what
outside of the chroot jail looks like,
then
what exactly was the point to this chroot jail in the first place?
