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.
PD: I use an updated&upgraded Woody.
