Quarantine configuration problem

Hello,

I have the following quarantine specific stuff specified in
mailscanner.conf:

Action = delete
Quarantine Whole Message = no
Quarantine Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine

I thought "Action = delete" was sufficient to disable quarantining, but
messages are still being quarantined as follows:

-- begin log entries --

-- end log entries --

What other parameters I need to modify to make MS stop quarantining
messages? I don't have any deny rules in filenames.rules.conf so nothing
should be happening there.

Setup is RH 7.3, MailScanner 4.11-1, SpamAssasssin 2.42.

Thanks,

jbh
