me neither ;-)

but there are several commandline clients such as mutt that can send 
over smtp.

I don't know how the 'mail' command actually pushes the email to the 
MTA, does it start a command and send the email message to stdin of that 
command?

I don't know, that depends on the internals of postfix. IIRC postfix 
uses sockets to communicate between the different processes. So perhaps 
if you do a bind mount for the directory that has these sockets inside 
the jail it might work already, but perhaps not..
