Hi Richard,

I believe you will have to setup an account for the mailwatch user in 
the Mysql database, and its this account username and password that you 
use to access the web interface.

At that point , once logged in as user "mailwatch" you should create a 
top admin account called "admin" as this is a special account name that 
can then drive the mailwatch whitelist and blacklist configurations.

You need to make sure that the mailwatch user has permission to access 
the mysql database from the correct range of Ips as well otherwise your 
logon will be denied for that reason as well.

If you look at this web page:

http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net/doku.php?id=mailwatch:documentation:install

a little way down is says "create the mailwatch web user" its here the 
username and password are set.

If you have any other questions on MailScanner and mailwatch, feel free 
to ask away here,  despite whats been said, no one has the right to tell 
you where to ask your questions, its still relevant to mailscanner so 
please don't be put off. 

Regards

Pete
