Hello all.. just tried this, and it did not work.... am i missing something?

In a file located in /etc/Mailscanner/rules/virus.scanning.rules

FromTo: *@domain1.com  no
FromTo: *@domain2.com    no
FromTo: default         yes


In /etc/Mailscanner/Mailscanner.conf

Changed the line

Virus scanning = yes

to

Virus scanning = /etc/Mailscanner/rules/virus.scanning.rules

All domain still get scanned for viruses...

Thanks...



Rob...
