We study theoretically the linear conductance of a quantum dot connected to ferromagnetic leads. The dot level is split due to a non-collinear magnetic field or intrinsic magnetization. The system is studied in the non-interacting approximation, where an exact solution is given, and, furthermore, with Coulomb correlations in the weak tunneling limit. For the non-interacting case, we find an anti-resonance for a particular direction of the applied field, non-collinear to the parallel magnetization directions of the leads. The anti-resonance is destroyed by the correlations, giving rise to an interaction induced enhancement of the conductance. The angular dependence of the conductance is thus distinctly different for the interacting and non-interacting cases when the magnetizations of the leads are parallel. However, for anti-parallel lead magnetizations the interactions do not alter the angle dependence significantly.
