===== Error message =====

This problem deals with the following error message:

<code text>postfix/trivial-rewrite[0]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_domains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem</code>

===== Troubleshooting =====

In the file

<code text>/etc/postfix/master.cf</code>

file contains the following entry:

<code text>rewrite   unix  -       -       -       -       -       trivial-rewrite</code>

This must be changed as follows:

<code text>rewrite   unix  -       -       n       -       -       trivial-rewrite</code>

Now we have to restart Postfix and MySQL:

<code bash>
$ ./etc/init.d/postfix restart
$ ./etc/init.d/mysql restart
</code>
