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.
