Beta 4.52.1 released

[Ken A]

Julian,
That sounds like a nice improvement. I had turned off the phishing code 
due to false positives with it, but will give it a shot with "Use 
Stricter Phishing Net = no".

If I have Phishing Modify Subject = no, and Highlight Phishing Fraud = 
no, what does MailScanner do when it finds a phishing attempt? I'm 
hoping the answer is "nothing but log it", so that I can use this 
configuration for testing.

Thanks,
Ken A
