If it's any consolation, you're not hallucinating. I had the very same
problem when I setup virus filtering to log, reject, and save viral
messages. It only worked if I did them in a particular order: save,
log, send rejection message. Nowhere did I see this documented, and
nothing in the logs indicated that the "save" command was ignored if it
didn't come first. But that seems to have been what was happening.
