MailScanner V4.01-3. RH 7.3. Sendmail 8.12.6

I'm unable to have outgoing mails signed.

I did the following in MailScanner.conf:
Inline HTML Signature = /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/alf.disclaimer.html
Inline Text Signature = /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/alf.disclaimer.txt
Sign Clean Messages = /etc/MailScanner/rules/outgoing.sign.rules

outgoing.sign.rules has:
   To:          alfinance.com           no
   From:        default                 yes

I cannot give IP filter as we have dial in customers. The above rules
(matching domain name) ensures that incoming mail is not signed but outgoing
is. My mails went unsigned.

To check this out, I changed "Sign Clean Messages = yes" from the ruleset.
My mails still went unsigned. This means the system is not able to access
the files? Is it a problem with file permissions? read access does exist 644
for root.root for these files just like the other files.

I'm fairly certain I've made the mistake but do not know where. HELP. Is
there a way of logging what rule sets are getting applied to mails so that
we can find out if the file made it thro' the rule set or not? Is some perl
module not installed properly?
