Among your links here's the one I've folowed: http://www.marlow.dk/tech/postfix.html But none of them pinted out the real problem, which is that Postfix can't acces "mysql.sock" (/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock) because it is running chroot'ed in /var/spool/postfix. Solution: ln -f /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock /var/spool/postfix/mysqld.sock put in /etc/init.d/mysql, right here: [...] case "$1" in 'start') [...] if is_mysqld_alive; then ln -f /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /var/spool/postfix/mysqld.sock echo "." [...] And now Postfix accesses the database without problems! Well, not exactly, because there's a user not found that I can see. However I don't consider it a problem worth making a question about... yet ;) Thnx! Pepe.
