No virus checking for certain accounts?

        This has some possibilities, although the issue is for automated
messages which are OUTbound.
        Let's see if I understand this correctly:
        In MailScanner.conf I would set

"Virus Scanning = /etc/MailScanner/rules/virus.scanning.rules"

        and that file would contain something like:

From:           naughtyclient at mydomain.org      no
FromOrTo:       default                         yes


        Or am I reading the ruleset README incorrectly?
