Hi guys,I have a problem configuring postfix mysql and courier on SLES 9.0 I have the following errors in my logs


Jan 30 15:40:52 mail postfix/smtpd[3019]: fatal: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf: bad string length 0 < 1: table =
Jan 30 15:40:53 mail postfix/master[1647]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 3019 exit status 1

Jan 30 15:41:53 mail postfix/smtpd[3068]: fatal: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf: bad string length 0 < 1: table =

Jan 30 15:41:54 mail postfix/master[1647]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

Here is the contents of my mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf file which i guess is the root of the problem:

user = mail_admin
password = dwd
dbname = mail
query = SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source='%s'
hosts = 127.0.0.1

I'll appreciate a speedy reply

I Googled the error message, and it seems to indicate that you might be using an old version of postfix (2.1 or earlier)but the new (2.2 and later) sql query syntax. Check your version of postfix with If you're using postfix 2.1 or earlier, you should use the syntax described in the mysql_table man page that came with your distribution.
