You need to set in MailScanner.conf:

Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules.rules

In the above file you put your content:

From:   192.168.217.26   /etc/rules/filenameoutgoing.rules.conf
From:   default          /etc/rules/filenameincoming.rules.conf

Copy the standard filename.rules.conf into the two above files and edit
them to suite your purpose. Reload MailScanner.
