I don't know if you have any other entries in the mysql.user / mysql.db tables. If so, there could be another entry for 'newsletter'@'something_else_but_not_%'. Whatever the reason - it's always a good idea to specify user names the "classical" MySQL way, i. e. 'user'@'machine', and not - as in most other DBMS - only as 'user'. What the manual says about it, is: "The simple form user is a synonym for user@"%"."
