Hey, I have tried to get MySQL and postfix to talk to each other on Debian stable.
The problem I have is when Postfix tries to connect to MySQL, it has issues. Oct 28 15:03:09 sheadoffice-bne postfix/trivial-rewrite[27803]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server throug h socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Oct 28 15:03:09 sheadoffice-bne postfix/trivial-rewrite[27803]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf(0,100): table lookup problem Now I can use the mysql client with the same username and password and connect successfully. I can also connect successfully using mysql --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock I've tried getting postfix to talk via 127.0.0.1 and also the real IP address of the machine. I've also tried using 'unix:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' as the "host" in the postfix virtual mapping. I'm stumped and very frustrated. Any suggestions?
