Spam Action "Forward" doesn't work

[Zdeněk Fajfr]

I tried it without bounce flag with the same results. I also tried to put
there just

Spam Actions = forward postmaster at krnap.cz
High Scoring Spam Actions = forward postmaster at krnap.cz

with no success

I may be wrong, but I believe if you bounce a message, the system treats
that message as if it weren't received therefore does nothing more with
it...Try removing the bounce from your config, restarting mailscanner and
see if that makes a difference.

Hi all,
I have a little problem with the spam action "forward". Here are the two
lines from MailScanner.conf dealing with spam actions:

Spam Actions = store forward postmaster at krnap.cz bounce
High Scoring Spam Actions = store forward postmaster at krnap.cz bounce

I just modified the suggested default values. Unfortunately NO forwarding
occurs!!!

Here is what MailScanner writes into mail logfile for every caught spam
message:

Sep  3 14:46:44 ns MailScanner[18921]: New Batch: Scanning 2 messages,

Sep  3 14:46:52 ns MailScanner[18921]: Spam Actions: (SpamAssassin) Bounce
to sales at defsol.se

The message is apparently bounced back to sender, it is also stored in
quarantine but what about forwarding to postmaster? It's essential for me to
know what messages have been marked as spam to be able to recognize false
positives and take appropriate actions (changes in configuration, let the
recipients know etc.)
Could anybody help me where did I go wrong in configuration?

I use MailScanner-4.23-11 with sendmail 8.12.9, SpamAssassin 2.55 and Clamav
antivirus on Linux Mandrake 9.1

Thanks a lot for any help

BTW: I regard MailScanner as an amazing piece of software, for it is very
powerful, and yet relatively easy to configure (compare to clamav-milter,
and especially Amavis)
