in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

you need to point to a file like this:

---cut here---
Filetype Rules = %rules-dir%/filetype.rules
---cut here---

then in this file (ie /etc/MailScanner/rules/filetype.rules) you need:

---cut here---
To:     otherdomain.com   %etc-dir%/otherdomain.filetype.rules.conf
FromTo: default           %etc-dir%/filetype.rules.conf
---cut here---

The default ruleset has the defaults the otherdomain ruleset can have
whatever you want for the domain concerned

you can do the same thing with filename rules.
