There are many tutorials on how to do this.  Some mention recompiling  
postfix for various reasons, but I don't think any of those related  
directly to MySQL support.  Usually, I think the approach is to use  
pam to connect postfix to mysql.

These 'ultimate mail server' tutorials make a lot of choices you may  
disagree with at various points, but I've found it pretty easy to pick  
& choose the sections I find relevant, and just use those.
