Dovecot has been giving me problems for the past week or so. Today the error log showed me this:
Jan 2 13:33:39 grace dovecot: auth-worker(3250): Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
- waiting for 5 seconds before retry
The socket is there, showing full permissions (rwx for owner, group, and rest of the universe) so I can't understand why dovecot can't connect.
Is there anyone who can help?

Maybe MySQL is not running, or perhaps something is blocking connecting to it? Check dmesg and (if on redhat based system) /var/log/audit/audit.log
