client-local.cfg: "ignore" ignored?

[Dominique Frise]

Hi,

We have following config. in our server's client-local.cfg:

----------
[mailc]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MailScanner
----------

The /var/log/messages of the "mailc" client is filled up with lines like 
following that we would like to exclude totally:

----------
May 13 06:26:41 mailc MailScanner[933]: HTML Img tag found in message 
1Feli1-0004tG-Dt from dmawllet at hotmail.com
----------

The lines with "MailScanner" of "mailc" client (Debian 2.4.22) are never 
ignored. I.e. we get -yellow/red- alarms for lines with "MailScanner" 
tag in it.

--- some infos from the client ---
bb at mailc:~$ wc -l /var/log/messages
10790 /var/log/messages
bb at mailc:~$ grep MailScanner /var/log/messages | wc -l
10795
bb at mailc:/soft/pub/BB/hobbit/client/tmp$ cat logfetch.*
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MailScanner

/var/log/messages:1306142:1281851:1252634:1227431:1200018:1156195:1115234
bb at mailc:/soft/pub/BB/hobbit/client/tmp$
---

What are we doing wrong? (client is running a snapshot of 25th april)
