I've tried the reloading - still no luck. And it all seemed so simple.

I have:
Archive Mail = /etc/MailScanner/rules/logSpamTrolls.rules

And in that file:

To:     edhunt_1 at webcam.com     /var/log/spam/
To:     duckvonlong at webcam.com  /var/log/spam/
To:     oral at webcam.com         /var/log/spam/
To:     fcdxsza at webcam.com      /var/log/spam/
FromOrTo:       default         no

I still get 2 files per email.
