My spam blocker uses MySQL through GNADE and ODBC on Debian Etch, and it's
working great. It took some experimentation before I understood how to
configure ODBC, but it didn't seem all that difficult to me.

I'm not exactly a guru on these things but if you want to troubleshoot my
first question will be what ODBC related packages you have installed, and
whether you installed them from Debian's repositories of some other way.
