A LOT of people use MySQL with Postfix.  I am one of those many.  In 
particular, my e-mail handling solution employs 4 distinct servers, each 
with Postfix.  MySQL (running on a dedicated server of its own) is 
necessary to manage them, especially because I host many virtual domains 
with many users and because each domain owner has control of their own 
e-mail accounts and aliases.

At present, I have to compile MySQL support into Postfix myself with 
CentOS 4 pointing at the default yum repository(ies).  I don't mind 
doing this, but it would be nice to have a postfix-mysql RPM available.
