I will assume that the first is set to delete certain problem messages, while
the second is set to tag and deliver everything... One of my systems reports
as follows...

 MailScanner Status:
 	392 messages Scanned by MailScanner
 	48.3 Total MB
 	16 Spam messages detected by MailScanner
 		1 Spam messages with action(s) attachment,store,deliver,header
 		15 Spam messages with action(s) store
 		6 hits from MailScanner SpamAssassin cache
 	100 Content Problems found by MailScanner
 	377 Messages delivered by MailScanner

 	392 Messages logged to MailWatch database

Mine shows that they were stored and not delivered. Maybe your mailscanner
code in logwatch needs some more work?

I can send you what I have if you want.
