The reason for that is very simple. The %% macro values are evaluated 
when the settings are processed from the .conf files. Because the 
%org-name% is used in the MailScanner.conf file before my "include 
conf.d/*" line, those settings will inherit the value from main 
MailScanner.conf file. Only those settings made *after* your "%org-name% 
= BakerBoots" line will be affected by the new value. If you want to 
overwrite the %macros% then you need to include a file just after their 
settings in MailScanner.conf, so they are set to your local values 
before they are used.
