Hello again - thanks for the replies so far.
Re the Non spam actions. The mailscanner book says that deliver is needed after striphtml. But that part of the rule is working anyway! It's stripping and delivery every thing that is not spam. It's the non default that does not appear to work. 
Re the recipient address.
That has been derived from the aliases list on my mailserver AFTER it has been scanned.
So if I was sending that mail off site that line would be on the receivers mailllog - wouldn't it? 
Or I have I got this wrong!
I added the line anyway but still not working.
Parts snipped to reduce size

.... don't match with the recipient (envelope) address here. So I'm
.guessing this is why you are seeing this behavior (just another case
.of it doing exactly what you tell it to do...:-)

.Haven't looked, so this might be true too:-).
.But first see to it that  howard at harper-adams.ac.uk and
.howard at gw.harper-adams.ac.uk match up better... Then look at Martins
.suggestion;-).
