Hi everybody, I am struggling with this one for hours now. Google doesn't help me anymore. I feel like I want to tear the hair out of my head. Maybe someone might be able to help on this one.
I am trying to setup Postfix + MySQL, according to lots of HOWTO's, but most closely according to this one because I'd like to use webbased Postfix admin: http://www.high5.net/howto/ Anyway, all is in place. Databse is up. Postfix admin PHP stuff connects to MySQL and works. I can login to MySQL from the shell. All config files are there, in place, etc. But, when I start postfix I get this in my logs: Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/master[32687]: daemon started -- version 2.1.3 Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/qmgr[32691]: B1D3931313: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=333, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/pickup[32690]: 1A6B73131D: uid=0 from=<root> Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/cleanup[32692]: warning: connect to mysql server unix:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/cleanup[32692]: warning: 1A6B73131D: virtual_alias_maps map lookup problem for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jul 10 00:38:01 srv1 postfix/pickup[32690]: warning: maildrop/80A2831319: Error writing message file But, when I try to connect via commandline using this same socket it works : srv1:/var/log/mysql# mysql -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock -u postfix -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

Maybe this is an ugly mix? If someone knows a consistent backport source for postfix + mysql + courier-imap + maildrop (including mysql suppot, I built my own from source) I will be more than happy. I am totally lost. Anyone with bright idea's? If you live close to Amsterdam I will get you a round of beer :) LOL. Damn, I need a beer myself after this stuff. Or maybe just sleep.
