All,

Just doing some testing with a few friendly guinea pig users and noticed

In Mailscanner.conf

Spam Actions = /opt/local/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.actions.rules

In spam.actions.rules

and j.watts at soton.ac.uk received this despite the rule set above, is it
as simple as being case sensitive (I hope not).

Any ideas/advice would be most useful.
