Hello,

I just configured postfix so that it uses MySQL database to store 
virtual domain and user info. When SELinux is enalbed, postfix fails to 
connect to MySQL. Below is an example error from the mailog file.

postfix/trivial-rewrite[4753]: fatal: 
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table 
lookup problem

When I turn off Selinux, the problem does not appear.

How can I configure Selinux to allow postfix to connect to MySQL? I am 
using CentOS release 5 (Final). I have installed the postfix and 
mysql-server packages from CentOSplus repository. The server is located 
in a remote location and GUI is not installed on it.

I appreciate any help,

Regards,
Sudheer
