Hi,

I do have mysql installed, but when I use postfix -m it doesn't mention
mysql.

When I use the dict_open program which is made at compilation I am able to
get aliases from mysql. Why does this work and not postfix itself, I'm sure
I compiled it correctly and with configure it did find the mysql library and
mysql.h?

Regards,
John

mysql requires third-party software that is not bundled with Postfix
source code, therefore mysql support needs to be turned on when
compiling Postfix. See the MYSQL_README file for instructions.

The "postconf -m" displays what types of lookup tables are built
into Postfix.

Lamont Jones is looking at ways to support dynamic linking of map
types, so that third-party maps can be hooked into Postfix without
recompilation.
