Re: Error with mariadb (aborted connection) & postfix (lost connection)

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=256M

try to change this in your mariadb server config file, restart mysqld afterwards

Done

in `/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf/50-server.cnf `

with : 

[mysqld]

#
# * Basic Settings
#

user                    = mysql
pid-file                = /run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
basedir                 = /usr
datadir                 = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir                  = /tmp
lc-messages-dir         = /usr/share/mysql
lc-messages             = en_US
skip-external-locking

# Broken reverse DNS slows down connections considerably and name resolve is
# safe to skip if there are no "host by domain name" access grants
#skip-name-resolve

# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 127.0.0.1

#
# * Fine Tuning
#

#key_buffer_size        = 128M
max_allowed_packet     = 1G

But I still have the same error

Re: Error with mariadb (aborted connection) & postfix (lost connection)

In mysql config file, under section "[mysqld]", add this line:

log_warnings = 1

Then restart mysql service.

(My) Explanation:

# MariaDB 10.2.14+ sets this to 2 by default, but we better set it to 1.
# If there's some sql client program doesn't properly handle sql connections,
# it may cause error like this in mariadb log file:
#
# `Aborted connection X to db: ... (Got timeout reading communication packets)`.
#
# If there're too many errors and eventually reaches `max_connect_errors`,
# this sql client host will be blocked from making further connections, which
# means Postfix/Dovecot/... will not be able to connect to SQL server and
# mail services are down.
