Both Steve and Kai has commented on the broken state of your previous
config, so I'll let that rest:-).

Nope. Your spam action rules file need contain all the actions, not a
mix like this. So if you have some "FromOrTo: <blaha> <actions>", the
<actions> need be all the actions (for example: deliver store header
"X-Spam-Status: Yes").
