How to connect to remote mysql server

I would like qmail to connect to a separate database server.
How would one achieve this task?
I am running qmail on centos4.
Thanks!

You can also use wild cards to mask out all or part of the host name. This degrades the security so you will need to think carefully about this.

The two servers are on a LAN domain, and the mysql server has an appropriate user account.
The email server is already accessed successfully by an older qmail server that works, but needs to be upgraded. I have no idea how this older server was set up to read from the remote mysql- all I know is that is works.
The part I am stuck on, is directing a new test version of qmail (and vpopmail specifically) to connect to the remote mysql server instead of its local mysql.
Can this be achieved through wildcards?

The 'mysql' server is already accessed successfully by an older qmail server that works, but needs to be upgraded. I have no idea how this older server was set up to read from the remote mysql- all I know is that is works.
