Spam Checks: Starting

Hi,

It is unclear to me why MailScanner still reads rules even though I
disabled them through MailScanner.conf  file?

Example:
==========
I've changed ../rules/deliver.clean.rules file to look like (added "To"):
FromTo: default           yes

(I've always had  " Log Spam = yes" turned on)

and FINALLY I started getting detailed logs from SpamAssassin but rules are
turned off  in MailScanner.conf file !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

h07KKEH7032751 actions are deliver

Question:
=========
Why the change done above will take effect  if my rules are disabled in
MailScanner.conf file:
Deliver Cleaned Messages = yes
# mnh Deliver Cleaned Messages = /etc/MailScanner/rules/deliver.clean.rules
Spam Checks = yes
# mnh Spam Checks =  /etc/MailScanner/rules/deliver.clean.rules

Any tips?

Thanks,

Magda Hewryk
