log spam

[Julian Field]

In addition to what John told you, you can't use Custom Functions like 
this. A Custom Function takes the message object as its parameter, and 
returns a string (or number) giving the value you want for this 
MailScanner.conf setting for this message. So in "Spam Actions =", a 
Custom Function could return something like "store forward 
wibble at foobar.com". Of course a Custom Function can have side effects 
such as extra logging, but fundamentally it is just a way to calculate 
the value of a MailScanner.conf setting programmatically. It isn't an 
additional Spam Action, which is what you are trying to do with it.

It's all a whole lot simpler than you are imagining.

Jules.
