Different Split Problem

I just tested this by sending myself an email to 2 addresses I receive.
They are both properly scanned & tagged.

Are you sure mail TO your abuse address isn't whitelisted?

Check your maillog for other occurances of "split:" and grep the log to
see if each ID is scanned. It is working here, and I really don't see
any way a message can hop from mqueue.in to mqueue without MailScanner's
help.
