I've been running a postfix server on CentOS 5 for a while with no
problem. I set up a new CentOS 6 box with postfix, and basically
transplanted my configs across to the new one. The service starts, but
doesn't work properly: it doesn't accept email on 25 or 587 (TLS), but
instead this appears in the maillog:
Jul 25 17:12:43 helios postfix/smtpd[14436]: fatal: open database
/etc/postfix/virtual.db: No such file or directory
Jul 25 17:12:44 helios postfix/master[14239]: warning: process

I do have a virtual.db, though. I deleted all my *.db and recreated them
with postmap to ensure they were OK. The ownership and perms seem OK:
[root@helios postfix]# ls -la virtual.db
-rw-r--r--. 1 root mail 12288 Jul 25 17:05 virtual.db
SELinux is disabled on this system, so it's not an obscure issue with
security contexts and mislabelling.
Am I missing something?
Try turning off chroot. It is a magic cure for mysterious errors.

Thanks for the tip. Chroot is already turned off for all components in
master.cf, though.
