you need to read about chrooting...

copy the timezone file (/etc/localtime or /etc/timezone or whatever) to
the chroot area (it should be visible from the chroot using the same
PATH as it is on the system. so if the file is /etc/localtime, then you
need to copy it to ${queue_directory}/etc/), and restart postfix.
