Sorry, no. There's an additional aspect of this that I left off the last
message. Considering the amount of posting you do here, I can easily
understand why you've forgotten about it. :) This router is sending the
message to the user "spam":

# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s).

spam_trap:
driver = redirect
condition = ${if def:h_X-Warning: {yes}{no}}
data = spam
file_transport = address_file


So, the question is why does that router pre-empt the system-filter that I
have (listed above), which works for other messages? The log (above) is
generated with both the router and the system-filter working and active.
Thanks!
