in short: if you use mysql for your config your mysqld MUST NOT 
be unreachable, ever at all, if your setup is OK this will never 
happen - i am saying this after 5 years dbmail where ANYTHING 
is in a innodb-database, not only postfix-config 

never ever shutdown mysql alone, make sure you always stop any 
mail-service before, make sure any mailservice is stopped before 
mysqld at reboot/shutdown, make sure your mysqld is high available 
with replication and you are fine
