I want to use mysql with postfix as so:

Using MySQL tables

Once Postfix is built with mysql support, you can specify a map type in 
main.cf like this:

    alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf

The file /etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf specifies lots of information 
telling Postfix how to reference the mysql database. For a complete 
description, see the mysql_table(5) manual page. 

http://www.postfix.org/MYSQL_README.html


what I have installed is:

postfix-mysql  dovecot-postfix  postfix


does this mean that I can use mysql for postfix transports?  When the 
package page http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/postfix-mysql 
says "map support" do they mean transports, or are these two different 
things (maps versus transports for postfix)?



thanks,

Thufir
