If I specify localhost as the host name for both imapd and sendmail sql plugin authentication like this: eg /etc/imapd.conf contains: sasl_sql_hostnames:localhost:3306 << changing localhost to mail-host here and /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf contains: sql_hostnames:localhost:3306 << and here works! Using localhost the connection to mysql fails for the sendmail connection while the imap connection succeeds. On the other hand, if I use the servers real host name instead of localhost then both connections succeed! This must be something to do with the sql plugin and mysql using a socket when connecting to localhost! But what? Command line connections to mysql, from 2 different terminals, to localhost for the same user like this: $ mysql mail --user=****** --password=******* work just fine!
