Without knowing the error I can only make some general suggestions:
1. Is "%etc-dir%" defined at the top of MailScanner.conf?

2. Did you create the "subject.scanned.rules" file in the correct place?
(Check where %etc-dir% is pointing)

3. Is the "subject.scanned.rules" file readable by the MailScanner process?
Sometimes this isn't root (my boxes use the "mail" user).  If in doubt,
just "chmod 0644 subject.scanned.rules" will make it world readable.

4. What error are you getting?

Hope that helps - if not, let us know what error you're getting :)
