Problems with postfix-mysql

I have followered the tut:
http://howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

I finished the tutorial with no problems, now I'm trying to test the mail system by sending a mail to a given email I have put in to the database!

It looks like there are severel problems, but the first is that postfix can not access the mysql database?

syslog:

Code:

Nov  6 05:22:44 houston2 postfix/smtpd[32212]: connect from xproxy.gmail.com[66.249.82.199]
Nov  6 05:22:45 houston2 postfix/proxymap[32213]: warning: connect to mysql server 127.0.0.1: #HY000Host 'gmlitconsultis' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
Nov  6 05:22:45 houston2 postfix/proxymap[32213]: warning: connect to mysql server 127.0.0.1: #HY000Host 'gmlitconsultis' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
Nov  6 05:22:45 houston2 postfix/trivial-rewrite[32214]: fatal: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,100): table lookup problem
Nov  6 05:22:46 houston2 postfix/smtpd[32212]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/rewrite socket while reading input attribute name

How can I solve this, Have tried looking for solutions for the connect problem (found this http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?86,23619,23619#msg-23619 ) but dosent help, because the solution there was to create the database user, but I have.. and the password is correct!

Then the next problem I think I have a solution for:

Code:

/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,100): table lookup problem

If I look at this file then

Code:

user = mail_admin
password = mail_admin_password
dbname = mail
table = domains
[COLOR=Yellow]select_field = 'virtual'[/COLOR]
where_field = domain
hosts = 127.0.0.1

but in this table, 'virtual' dosent exist only the collumm "domain" do.
Should this bee domain instead?

 

The table lookup problem is resulting from the problem that your user is not allowed to connect to the MySQL database.

Did you grant the correct privileges to that user? Did you run

Code:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

afterwards? This is important because the changes become valid only after that command.

 

Yes I used FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Did it again... But no change...

I tried to logon with the user and pass from the console and it worked

Code:

houston2:/etc/postfix# mysql -u pureftpd -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3847 to server version: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge2-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> show databases;

 

Again I have tried to change the hosts with the domain for the server in mysql-*.cf files

Code:

any idea?


I have pureftpd-mysql using the same database, and here there is no problem for this to use the mysql!

 

From your log file I see that Postfix tries to connect to MySQL on houston2.ustabilserverplads.dk instead of 127.0.0.1. So either you allow remote connections to that MySQL user, or you change the configuration so that Postfix tries to connect on 127.0.0.1.

 

Forgot to mention that I changed the hosts on purpose, to see if it will make anydifferens!

But no, the same log file is being written just with 127.0.0.1 instead of houston2.ustabilserverplads.dk and still having problems.

 

Please post the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

Hey,

I have increased it to be something with the postfix-mysql because it gives the same error if I just set the database up on another machine...

Should I remove the programs with the apt-get --purge remove atribute and start over or?

 

Do you use Debian testing or unstable? Because in the tutorial I use Debian stable...

 

I use stable (sarge)

 

I think I have a similar problem, but I am not sure...

Code:

I was thinking if "server=localhost" could be the problem, because it should be "server=127.0.0.1"?!?!

But in my /etc/mysql/my.cnf the "bind-adress" should be ok.

Code:

# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 127.0.0.1

Could it be the problem? And if yes, how can I solve it?

Thanks

Michael

 

Please check if your MySQL server is running.

 

Code:

m34s12:~# mysql -u mail_admin -p
Enter password:

Your MySQL connection id is 159 to server version: 4.0.24_Debian-10sarge1-log

Mysql is running and mail_admin has access to mail.users.

 

Before it was "localhost" and "localhost.localdomain". (howto)

I change it to "%" and stopped and restartet mysql.

 

What's in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc? Do you have authmodulelist="authmysql" in /etc/courier/authdaemonrc?
