Yep, that's where it's at. I've also tried specifying the port in the dsn options in the cf file, i.e. "user_scores_dsn DBI:mysql:spamassassin:localhost:3306" I'm most curious about the error number given - (13). In mysql speak, that's a 'permission denied', but according to the logs, there's no connection attempt even being made. I don't know if that number is coming from spamd, the perl db api or mysql. I doubt it's coming from mysql, since I'm not seeing any connection attempt whatsoever. Thanks, St-
