issue connecting to mysql after upgrade
Hello again: One more issue on which I would appreciate any help anyone can offer: Yesterday I upgraded my postfix installation from 2.5.2 to 2.5.5 and my MySQL installation from 5.0.51b to 5.0.75. Immediately after restarting everything (the whole computer), I started seeing these messages in my mail log: Jan 1 09:48:35 s postfix/smtpd[13199]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp' (38) Jan 1 09:48:35 s postfix/cleanup[13201]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp' (38) Jan 1 09:48:42 s postfix/trivial-rewrite[13205]: warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp' (38) As far as I can tell this has been consistent with smtpd, cleanup and trivial-rewrite, but nothing else. (there have been pre-existing issues, per my prior conversation with mouss, with dspam, but these have not changed at all - they existed before the upgrade and still exist) I use mysql for nearly all my tables in postfix. All of my aliases are working and forwarding fine, which means that postfix can access my mysql database (and yes, postconf -m shows mysql). virtual is finding the maildirs correctly for my virtual mailboxes. However, my sender_canonical_maps are no longer working after the upgrade (outbound addresses are not being rewritten at all as they were before the upgrade) As an example, my main.cf contains: sender_canonical_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_canonical_maps.cf and mysql_canonical_maps.cf contains: user = postfixuser password = postfixpassword hosts = localhost, 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfixdatabase query = SELECT result FROM canonical WHERE address='%s' AND active='Y' (obvious information changed). This is unchanged before and after the upgrade. The query works on all the addresses (I tested it at the mysql command prompt). I also tested a local telnet to 127.0.0.1 on port 3306 which worked as expected and mysql responds perfectly. I also tested connection through the localhost socket with works as expected. Also several other parts of my mail system (e.g. courier_auth) connect through the socket and report success. And as noted, postfix is able to connect most of the time (aliases, virtual maildirs, etc.). Other software on my system, e.g. PHP, is also able to connect to mysql successfully. I tried all the steps in the MySQL documentation on dev.mysql.com suggested to diagnose this error, and all confirmed that the MySQL server is working correctly. So I find myself not knowing where to look next, and I hope someone here knows what might be happening or at least be able to point me in the right direction. One additional piece of information: I am running on Mac OS/X and as part of this upgrade, I installed the 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 upgrade (thus needing to restart my computer). This upgrade is known to break postfix. So I reinstalled postfix and my main.cf and master.cf files after the upgrade and stopped and restarted postfix to be sure. (and mysql) What other information might be helpful in diagnosing this? Thank you for any help you can offer!

Re: issue connecting to mysql after upgrade
Salaam, I think that you may have to add proxy to this line This is your line: sender_canonical_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_canonical_maps.cf This is what I suggest: sender_canonical_maps= proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_canonical_maps.cf We use postgres in our organization and we use that proxy keyword too.

All chroot flags are set to "n" - try using proxymap (foo_maps=proxy:mysql:/etc/). Tried this...no change :( - make sure the mysql socket is accessible by postfix (and not just by root). I checked looking at permissions and trying it as the postfix user and all works (I suspected it would, as many accesses work fine (aliases, etc. as I noted earlier) - try with "hosts = 127.0.0.1" (without "localhost") Tried this - no change. :( I tried each of the suggestions you made with alias, virtual and local addresses I noticed that when local complained about mysql access, it still did fine looking up the local alias and forwarding it correctly. I'm starting to wonder whether this is a "can't connect" or a delay in connecting - is it possible that it's taking too long to connect so a warning is reported, but the connection happens eventually? or that it works on a retry? The only thing I've found that doesn't work as expected is sender_canonical_maps which would invalidate this theory, but the local behavior makes me think it's a possibility? Alternatively, is it possible that something in the mysql capabilities of postfix compiled wrong? I am not that familiar with gcc and the build process (I use what I know works) - is there something I can look at in the ./configure or make output that would tell me? I did try rebuilding (./configure,. make, make install) three times... why do use sender_canonical instead of canonical? rewrite should be consistent, and "your sender is the recipient's recipient"...

I would think so also. I'm at a loss here, but I think this is no longer a problem. i was able to turn on very verbose logging in mysql, and it turns out that all the queries are in fact being made. I also have to confess to a bit of stupidity about my own ability to hold enough configuration information in my head (making postfix much smarter than I am!). I have dspam set to filter all mail both inbound and outbound (this has to change, but served the purpose when I initially set it up. And to stop multiply always_bcc results, specified "-o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings" in the master.cf entry for re-injection. the pipe to dspam is case-folding and then the sender_canonical_maps are being ignored. I didn't event think to look at this as a reason canonical was failing. I apologize sincerely for taking so much time and effort to get here and for leading you down this path. But still I appreciate the help. This will help me clean up this set of configuration issues. As to the warnings, I still don't know. Everything seems to be working, but issuing warnings.
