I have MailScanner setup to scan multiple domains on one box and then feed
the resulting email to their destination server.
I also have MailScanner to selectively scan messages sent to domain users.

I have spam/virus checking based upon a ruleset....domain.filter.rules

I have set my rules up as

FromOrTo:    *@mydomain1.com    no
FromOrTo:    *@mydomain2.com    yes
FromOrTo:    user at mydomain3.com    no
FromOrTo:    default    yes

If a mail is sent to user at mydomain3.com, it isnt scanned.....desired
behaviour
If a mail is sent to user2 at mydomain3.com, it is scanned....also desired
behaviour (because of the default line)

However, if a message is sent to user at mydomain3.com AND user2 at mydomain3.com,
neither message is scanned.

If I alter the rule to include a YES statement for user2 at mydomain3.com, it
works as desired.

I know the default rule is working as messages sent only to
user2 at domain3.com are scanned.


Can anyone offer a reason for this and has anyone else seen this behaviour.

Thanks
