Try...
Virus Scanning = /etc/MailScanner/rules/virusscan.rules

in MailScanner.conf, then create /etc/MailScanner/rules/virusscan.rules with the following entries


From:  default  yes
From:  *@yourdomain.tld no


(You can add multiple domains as extra lines)

OR.....

From:  default  yes
From:    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  no

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of an internal machine sending mail out through the mailscanner (IMHO this is better because you risk letting in mail with a spoofed sender in the first option)


OR.....
To: *@yourdomain.tld   yes
To:  default            no

Which you choose largely depends on your sites setup and which is best for you - take your pick  (see the README and EXAMPLES files in /etc/MailScanner/rules for more info)
