Is there a bug in MCP handling in 4.41.3-1?
I asked in an earlier message why I am _not_ seeing
"...MCP Actions: message j4I9gwgT004139 actions are delete"
records in the log files when I am getting an MCP score of 10 for a
message and have in MailScanner.conf:
MCP High SpamAssassin Score = 10
High Scoring MCP Actions = delete
Always Include MCP Report = yes
Detailed MCP Report = yes
Include Scores In MCP Report = yes
Log MCP = yes
The logs say:
May 18 10:43:24 cheviot8 MailScanner[1518]: Message j4I9gwgT004139 from
128.240.233.53 (xxx at hotmail.com) to maildb.ncl.ac.uk is MCP, MCP-Checker
(score=10, required 1, PROLO_GMCP24 10.00)
Although the logs do not say that MailScanner MCP actions are "delete"
for this message it is clear that it was not delivered.

The score is 10 on each rules. This was shown in the log extract I
provided below. This shows that the "Message ... is MCP ..." with a
score of 10.
