Morning Jon, You will not be too successful in using MySQL logging to trace this. You need to be able to connect to the server at the very least before this would help.
I don't know much about MailScanner but I would be checking a couple of things, 1) do you have a firewall in place? is the port (generally 3306) open? and 2) is there a configuration file for MailScanner that has been set up correctly? This sounds more like a network issue rather than a MySQL problem. Are you able to ping 192.168.10.4 from the MailScanner box? Can you telnet to it? You could use tcpdump or similar to check the network conversations.

From the mail server I can issue the following: mysql -h 192.168.10.4 -u mailwatch -p and enter the password and it connects. Yet from within the initial program it does not work and in the mail logs it has: Jan 3 18:19:31 mail MailScanner[11376]: Unable to initialise database connection: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.4' (110) I've ask the mailscanner list, the mailwatch list and the postfix list and we are not getting anywhere.
