yes there is some pb with postfix in chroot jail and
/var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf not updated automatically.
You can modify your script to copy your new /etc/resolv.cof to
/var/spool/postfix/etc or disable the chroot jail.
But that really strange you loosed mails.

no. that should be done when updating /etc/resolv.conf
i had a patch to do it, but it is a bit nasty and i prefer the debian
