If root can do "cat /etc/postfix/mysql/virtual-mailbox-maps.cf"
but the Postfix virtual delivery agent running as root can open
the file, then you have something that interferes with file system
access, like Selinux, Apparmor, Systrace, and so on. Configuring
such systems is outside the scope of Postfix.
