MailScanner MCP not working


So I have been running MailScanner 4.32, Postfix 2.1.3, and Debian testing/unstable for a while now and everything was working great. Suddenly, the MCP portion of MailScanner/SpamAssassin stopped working. It still catches email and quarantines it, but it won't forward it on to my spam review account for some reason.

Can someone please help me? I have tried both Postfix and MailScanner lists, but no one has been able to find a solution. Here is the MCP portion of MailScanner.conf. And from the log files of a working machine and my broken machine, everything looks the same only the broken one never requeues the message while the working machine does. I have attached two log files as well.

# Configuration directory containing files related to MCP
# (Message Content Protection)
%mcp-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc/mcp

#
# MCP (Message Content Protection)
# -----------------------------
#
# This scans text and HTML messages segments for any banned text, using
# a 2nd copy of SpamAssassin to provide the searching abilities.
# This 2nd copy has its own entire set of rules, preferences and settings.
# When used together with the patches for SpamAssassin, it can also check
# the content of attachments such as office documents.

MCP Checks = yes

MCP Required SpamAssassin Score = 1
MCP High SpamAssassin Score = 10
MCP Error Score = 1

MCP Header = X-MailScanner-MCPCheck:
Non MCP Actions = deliver
MCP Actions = store forward review@domain.com
High Scoring MCP Actions = store forward review@domain.com

Log MCP = yes
Is Definitely MCP = no
Is Definitely Not MCP = no
Definite MCP Is High Scoring = no
Always Include MCP Report = no
Detailed MCP Report = yes
Include Scores In MCP Report = yes

MCP Max SpamAssassin Timeouts = 20
MCP Max SpamAssassin Size = 100000
MCP SpamAssassin Timeout = 10

MCP SpamAssassin Prefs File = %mcp-dir%/mcp.spam.assassin.prefs.conf
MCP SpamAssassin User State Dir =
MCP SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir = %mcp-dir%
MCP SpamAssassin Default Rules Dir = %mcp-dir%

So I figured out the fix to this problem. I had to put in a deliver in the MCP portion of MailScanner.conf

I changed:

MCP Actions = store forward review@example.com sarge@example.com
High Scoring MCP Actions = store forward review@example.com sarge@example.com

to:

MCP Actions = store deliver forward review@example.com sarge@example.com
High Scoring MCP Actions = store deliver forward review@example.com sarge@example.com

which isn't the way it is supposed to work, but it fixes my issue. So basically the deliver does what the forward review@example.com should do. So that means if I wanted to deliver MCP messages to the original To: user it wouldn't work.

Any ideas how this happend?
