Hi Mike,

I tried this with just one of my personal email addresses to and it did
not do anything.  It is still scanning the messages for spam..  Is there
any reason why, anything else I should be looking at?

My MailScanner.conf files has

Spam Checks = %rules-dir%/spam.rules

My spam.rules has

FromOrTo:       cpgeorge at conpoint.com           no
FromOrTo:       default                         yes
