Thanks, Juan, and Patrik as well, this helped
immensely. I can get postfix working, and it seems to
read the mysql tables on startup, which it wouldn't do
before. However, I still have one bad problem - it
won't accept mail. Specifically, when I telnet to
port 25, postfix looks OK, but if I send mail to any
aaddres (using manual commands at the telnet prompt,
which I usually use for troubleshooting mail), it
accepts the EHLO and MAIL commands, but as soon as I
specify a destination mail addres, it kills the telnet
session and postfix seems to go into a hibernating
state for a while (during which I see a new process,
"cleanup -t unix -u -c"), and it won't accept telnet
sessions to port 25 anymore. After a while, it comes
back.
So obviously I'm still doing something wrong in
getting postix to use mysql...I've researched this on
the net, to no avail. I realize it's mostly a postfix
question, but I was wondering if anyone else had
experienced this?
Thanks again for the compiling directions...:)
Aj

You can use Simon J. Mudd's SRPMs or Tuomo Soini's
ones...
Simon J. Mudd's:
http://postfix.wl0.org/en/
First install the SRPM:
# rpm -ivh postfix-xxx.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
then set the required build options
# export POSTFIX_MYSQL=1 #
this one for the MySQL
RPM from mysql.com
# export POSTFIX_REDHAT_MYSQL=1 # this one for
Red Hat's mysql RPM
then create postfix.spec
# sh ./make-postfix.spec
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec
the RPM will be left on /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
NOTE: Simon's RPMs are configured to be chrooted by
default!!!
In his site you can see the whole list of
options

Tuomo Soini's
http://tis.foobar.fi/software/?postfix
# rpm -ivh postfix-xxx.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec --with mysql
the RPM will be left on /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
