Problems with Silent Viruses

Hi,

Im trying to get MailScanner to drop (discard) email with infections. e.g
not to notify sender or recipient. Notably Netsky and Bagle.
Looking down through the documentation I conclude incorrectly that
this should work in my MailScanner.conf file

Silent Viruses = /etc/MailScanner/viruses.to.delete.conf
Still Deliver Silent Viruses = no

And my viruses.to.delete.conf file has these entries for example
W32/Klez.gen at MM
W32/Sobig.f at MM
W32/Dumaru.a at MM
W32/Bagle at MM
W32/Bagle.ai at MM
W32/Bagle.aa at MM
W32/Netsky.p at MM
W32/Netsky.z at MM
W32/Netsky.d at MM

Any ideas why the recipient is still getting notified that a virus was being
sent to them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ray.
