Forgotten in the middle of the options when I modified the file for 3.6.
I use a small script with the options to configure. It's useless, I
know.

You should have given it as a cvs command then ;)

How you guys understand all these complexities? ;-)

My question now is, for MySQL 4.1, what would I use, because in
dspam.conf. I see this:

StorageDriver /usr/local/lib/libmysql_drv.so

On my system there is nothing like /usr/local/lib/libmysql_drv.so.
Excude my dumbness, but where does libmysql_drv.so come from, for
instance?

What is the advantage of such over the other available options?
