Thank you, Barry, I'm using add_recipient as a work-around.  At least I can
now see the actual email/spam.

Can anyone tell me why action_quarantine_entire_domain() isn't working here?
The directory referenced in the email excerpt doesn't even exist on my
server.  

Mimedefang-filter excerpt:
>my ($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();
>         if ($hits >= $req && $hits < 10) {
>                 action_quarantine($entity, "Possible Spam");
>                 $QuarantineSubject = "Possible Spam (Coyote)";
>         } else {
>         if ($hits >= 10) {
>                 action_quarantine_entire_message();
>                 $QuarantineSubject = "Definitely Spam (Coyote)";

Administrator email excerpt:
> An e-mail had 0 parts quarantined in the directory 
> /var/spool/MIMEDefang/qdir-2002-08-19-15.13.54-001 on the mail server.


Thanks,
