How to store and delete a message

You need to understand the relationship between the MailScaner.conf file 
and any *.rules files you may happen to have. You need to get your head 
round this (it's really very simple, just look at the MailScanner.conf 
file and search for mentions of a few of your rulesets). Or you won't 
get anywhere. MailScanner has to know how to calculate the value of 
every configuration option for every message. Most things are just 
simple values such as a number, a filename, a yes/no value, whateve. And 
then there are rulesets which produce a different value depending on the 
message properties (the From and/or To address).
