Set
Virus Scanning = %rules-dir%/skip.local.rules

and in /etc/MailScanner/rules/skip.local.rules use either

From: *@yourdomain.com no
FromOrTo: default yes

or, more reliably (as it doesn't matter if your domain is faked in
incoming mail)
From: 3.4.5.* no
FromOrTo: default yes
where you should replace 3.4.5.* with your local ip netblock. It will
take any common syntax for specifying this.
