Julian,

  Can the syslog output of mailscanner be modified to tell us
who the message is (or would be, if deleted) delivered to?
For instance, with MS 4-20.3 my syslog shows for a spam message:

Jun  3 13:38:00 emerald MailScanner[18296]: Message h53HbmP0028363 from
63.251.6.73 (mailbot at buzzcast.com) to colby.edu is spam, SpamAssassin
(score=7.7, required 4, ASCII_FORM_ENTRY, FOR_FREE, HTML_60_70,
HTML_COMMENT_8BITS, HTML_FONT_BIG, HTML_FONT_COLOR_RED, HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD,
HTML_FONT_FACE_ODD, MIME_HTML_ONLY, PLING_PLING, TO_ADDRESS_EQ_REAL)

Could this line also show the recipient, ie:

Jun  3 13:38:00 emerald MailScanner[18296]: Message h53HbmP0028363 from
63.251.6.73 (mailbot at buzzcast.com) to colby.edu (joeblow at colby.edu) is spam,
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SpamAssassin (score=7.7, required 4, ASCII_FORM_ENTRY, FOR_FREE, HTML_60_70,
HTML_COMMENT_8BITS, HTML_FONT_BIG, HTML_FONT_COLOR_RED, HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD,
HTML_FONT_FACE_ODD, MIME_HTML_ONLY, PLING_PLING, TO_ADDRESS_EQ_REAL)

This would help in syslog analysis...  Thanks.
