Ehhh, that doesn't sound right.  I'm replacing the MailScanner.conf line:
    High Scoring Spam Actions = delete
with:
    High Scoring Spam Actions = %localrules-dir%/highspam.rules
so I better have a default action in there (2nd line).  The comma seperated
list of email addresses doesn't have any spaces and is RFC822 compliant
so that *ought* to work.  Don't know if I need the delete on the first line.

I've got the ruleset in place, just waiting for something to admissions
to trigger it.  Where's a spammer when you need one???
