Dovecot doesn't authenticate with Postfix using MySQL.
The OS is Fedora 9
### /var/log/mail.log
dovecot: May 25 08:39:52 Info: Dovecot v1.0.13 starting up
dovecot: May 25 08:39:52 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down
dovecot: May 25 08:39:52 Error: auth(default): Unknown database driver 'mysql'
dovecot: May 25 08:39:52 Error: child 17805 (auth) returned error 89

Has anyone come across this problem?

I might have found a possible solution. Dovecot might need to be compile with mysql support --mysql in fedora 9 just need to know how to do it?

Problem Solved just installed dovecot-mysql via add software option and it started with no errors or alterntively the rpm fc9 version dovecot-mysql-1:1.0.13-6.fc9(i386).
