      Hi,

      I'm running mailscanner-4.33.3-1
      I have set up a rule for Is Definitely Spam, and action for
      spam is attachment. The problem is when I send an email, the
      mail dissapears. It never gets to the recipient, it doesn't
      bounce.. nothing.

      I checked the changelog, but I didn't notice any entry on
      this issue.

      Any ideas?

Yes, you need to add 'deliver' to the spam actions (To go with
attachment)
      Is it possible to set a special action for "Is Definitely
      Spam" matching mails? (for customers who want to receive
      spam, convert to attachment high scoring spam, and delete
      Definitely Spam).

AFAIK the options are for either spam or high scoring spam. I guess the
obvious move is to set the high score to a very high number (200?) and
set that to delete and the spam options to attach, deliver so those get
attached and delivered, then set the blacklisted spam to be high scoring
spam (So they get deleted). That would do the job ;-)
