Here's what I do. On outbound email I only scan for viruses and not spam 
(waste of time and might generate false positives).

I set the following options in MailScanner.conf

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

The file spam.rules then contains.

From:        192.168.                no
FromOrTo:    default                 yes

where 192.168.0.0/16 is my local subnet
