I just tested this and it is working fine. The maillog says this:

Oct 26 19:42:42 karla MailScanner[15619]: Spam Actions: message 
h8N7jHpf022110 actions are delete,spambox at scorpion.nl,forward
Oct 26 19:42:42 karla MailScanner[15619]: Spam Actions: message 
g4KAPXR04047 actions are delete,spambox at scorpion.nl,forward

Did you do a "service MailScanner reload" or "service MailScanner 
restart" (in RedHat Linux) after changing MailScanner.conf?
You have to tell it the config file has changed.

It explicitly does not automatically detect changes in the file as you 
might save a half-edited file which would cause mail to be lost if it 
was used. So once you are happy with the file, you have to tell it to 
re-read the file. The last thing you want is it to start using a file 
that accidentally says "delete" instead of "deliver", as you didn't have 
a chance to check your new file first!

What version of MailScanner are you running? And what MTA?
