I should get new glasses...

That is database postfix by dovecot.  Sigh.

Possibly you should ask some dovecot people. The loglines you provided,
show processname "dovecot", not postfix.

It seems postfix is impatient with connecting with mysql, as I see in

through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 5 seconds

I suspect it does connect eventually.  This is a test system with only
1GB of memory and free reports:

                total        used        free      shared buff/cache
available
Mem:        1025484      696344       24556 21528      304584      251552
Swap:        524284       92168      432116


The production box has 2GB, so if the problem is mysql is swapping out,
that will be 'fixed', if it is processor, well this is an ARMv7 duo
core, as is the production box.  I am considering buying the new quad core.

Is there anything I can do to get postfix more patient with mysql, or
just ignore there messages?

thank you
