I would recommend using a simple "disarm" instead of a ruleset for
"Allow Form Tags" (which caused the above) and a couple of others. It
lets mail through but they are not dangerous any more.

Look at the section in Mailscanner.conf named "Removing/Logging
dangerous or potentially offensive content".
