Looking in there, when a spam is detected I see:

Mar  8 23:03:48 server MailScanner[29709]: Message o28C3XnG031821 from 119.155.14.213 (vicky41 at yahoo.com) to example.net.au is spam, SpamAssassin (cached, score=26.672, required 5, autolearn=spam, BAYES_99 3.50, BOTNET 2.00, CRM114_UNSURE 0.00, FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD 2.30, FREEMAIL_EXTRA 1.50, FREEMAIL_FROM 0.50, MS_FOUND_SPAMVIRUS 3.00, NIXSPAM_IXHASH 3.00, RAZOR2_CHECK 0.50, RCVD_IN_PBL 0.91, RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB 0.62, RCVD_IN_XBL 3.03, RDNS_NONE 0.10, RELAY_RU 2.00, TVD_SPACE_RATIO 2.22, URIBL_SBL 1.50)

Mar  8 23:03:48 server MailScanner[29709]: Spam Actions: message o28C3XnG031821 actions are delete,header,store-spam

That Spam Action of "delete,header,store-spam" is from my high.scoring.spam.actions.rules file.

So even with this line:

To: default SpamScore>10=>store,not-deliver,forward normalspam at domain.com SpamScore>18=>store,not-deliver,forward highspam at domain.com

in the spamassassin.rule.actions.rules file, it doesn't seem to trigger the SpamScore forward on the spam message?

Any ideas why?

Thanks.

Michael.
