I reread my dovecot sql.conf.ext files and realized they were actually
connecting to localhost. So I did some googling, and found how to
connect to the socket:
connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=postfix
password=Postfix_Database_Password
And all fixed. No more failures. Plus probably securer.

I have been getting the following on my new mailserver:

seconds before retry
They go away when I setenforce 0.
So I googled dovecot mysql selinux and the only worthwhile hit was:
http://zszsit.blogspot.com/2012/12/dovecot-mysql-selinux-issue-on-centos6.html
that provides a /etc/selinux/dovecot2mysql.te
Is there a simpler way like a setsbool option?
With all the howtos on dovecot with mysql, it is interesting that none
of them seem to have this problem. Maybe because they connect to
mysql through TCP port 3306 which has ITS set of problems (like
MariaDB defaults to not listening on TCP).
thanks!
