I have small problem with postfix when trying to switch to mysql for postfix.
I used: $sudo postmap -q [EMAIL PROTECTED] hash:/etc/postfix/virtual [EMAIL PROTECTED] $sudo postmap -q [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-list.cf mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql.cf [EMAIL PROTECTED] to test the configuration before changing main.cf from virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual to virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql.cf But it didn't work after a restart of postfix >From /var/log/mail.log: [...] postfix/smtpd[18039]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [...] I can't understand why postmap works when smptd doesn't It is possible for the postfix user to connect to the local server through the socket as this command proves $sudo -u postfix mysqladmin --protocol=SOCKET --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock version mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu on i486 [..] I do not run the vanilla postfix but the debian modified one but I don't think that should be the problem. $sudo postconf -d | grep "mail_version =" mail_version = 2.5.2 Thanks in advance Jes
