After a clean install install of Debian postfix worked, but I can not
get it to work with MySQL.

I installed: mysql-client and mysql-server php4-mysql

I modified main.cf like many websites suggested, however my logs are
showing (/var/log/mail.log):

warning: connect to mysql server localhost: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket 'var'run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

Any ideas where to start looking? It's a postfix <-> MySQL problem
since Postfix worked after install using hash lookups.

After much searching I finally found a solution. In my .cf files I had
to chang the host value from localhost to 127.0.0.1. I dont' exactly
understand the difference how each work but it solved the problem.
