As they say in most other messages, "use a ruleset". The verbose answer
would be to take "spam.whitelist.rules" and add your IP addresses, or
perhaps "use spamassassin =" and create a ruleset that says "default yes,
but not from these IPs".

But why would you want to? What if one of your machines gets
infected/trojaned/taken over? Disgruntled employees, etc.?

Subject: spam & virus check incomming only virus check outgoing

Hi all,

I'm using mailscanner, spamassassin and several anti-virusscanners with
success for all incomming mail. The box functions as a "mail proxy"
filtering incomming mail for spam and virusses and forwards it to another
mailserver.
Now i want to configure the device to also scan all outgoing mails for
virusses but not for spam (no spam is supposed to be sent from your
internal company network)

Is it possible to have fully functioning spam and virus checking for
incomming mail and only virus checking for outgoing mail without having two
copies running or something similar?

Many thanks in advance
