Yet another of my dumb newbie questions.  I have MM 1.0.2 running on a SLES 10 mail server which operates very well. ; I have a backup mail server  on which I  have postfix/amavsd-new/SA/clam/Mailzu running.  I presently have a separate bayes database for this mail system residing on another mySQL server.  I want to have both system use and feed into the same bayes system so I have configured the backup mail server to utilize the maia bayes database.  I have granted permission to my maia user to connect from any host and for the database to accept connections for any host. ; With this set-up I now can connect to the maia bayes database from my backup mail server which is what I wanted; however, maia on my main mail server is unable to connect to the maia database.  I am sure I am doing something obvious wrong again, but I expected allowed connections from any host would include localhost.

Thanks for the input.

You can use multiple GRANT statements, of course--you don't
have to come
up with a single GRANT that works for everything.  In your
case for
instance you probably want two separate GRANT statements,
e.g.:

  GRANT CREATE, DROP, ALTER, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
ON maia.* TO
maialocalhost IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd';

and

  GRANT CREATE, DROP, ALTER, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
ON maia.* TO
maiabackup.host IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd';

That's a bit tighter than having to grant access to maia*, and
lets you
be a bit clearer about the two distinct users.
