Where did my spam go...

[Joel Colvin]

Yes, that works great.  And now that I know its working properly I think
I'll go back to having them disappear and just have them deleted.

Thanks for the quick reply.

"striphtml" doesn't automatically imply "deliver" (as you might want to
just forward it elsewhere, for example). Does it work if you set
         Spam Actions = striphtml deliver
