Hi there. I just hit the table limit of mysql (4G) so thought I'd try
postgresql first and see if it performs any better, etc.  However I can't
seem to get it going.

I've got two servers.
   1) Dedicated postgresql
   2) POP/IMAP Toaster

I can connect to the database using the psql command line utility from the
toaster box, no problems. I've set up a simple trusted subnet, which doesn't
require md5/ident authentication or anything.

> <works great>

However when I try using dbmail, it simply says can't connect see log.

PQconnectdb failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory ^IIs
the server running locally and accepting ^Iconnections on Unix domain socket
"/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I've changed the config.h to the relevant host, and can tcpdump and see
connections going there.  I

I'm really new to postgres and don't know where to start looking (though it
looks like a dbmail problem).  I'd appreciate any help from anyone who can
point me in the right direction.


Thanks in advance,
Mark.


PS. I've also got dbmail running with Mysql/Innodb and thought I'd try
postgres for comparison (debian ships with postgres, meaning I wouldn't have
to worry about the upgrading the database software manually...).

Is there anyone who's tried both who can give recommendations?
