blacklists and archiving

[David Vosburgh]

I have setup mail archiving to both a file and another email address for 
all mail from a particular domain.  That much has worked fine for some 
time now.  I recently got a request to blacklist one address in that 
domain, so I put an entry in the spam.blacklists.rules file.  The next 
time a message came through from that address, rather than being 
blacklisted, the message was delivered and archived as normal (and yes I 
did restart MailScanner).  Is this a matter of precedence?  That is, 
does archiving take precedence over blacklisting? Or is this a 
misconfiguration on my part, or <gasp> a bug?

Here's the MailScanner -v output:
