Ok, according to EXAMPLES in /etc/MailScanner/rules , I've done this:

I put this into /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:

Block Outgoing To = /etc/MailScanner/rules/block.outgoing.rules

And here's my /etc/MailScanner/rules/block.outgoing.rules

To: kevinold at gmail.com and From: kevin.old at uavco.com /tmp/kdo.txt

Here's the error I get from MailScanner:

Sep 22 11:41:30 uavco MailScanner[13358]: Syntax error(s) in configuration file:
Sep 22 11:41:30 uavco MailScanner[13358]: Unrecognised keyword
"blockoutgoingto" at line 1911
Sep 22 11:41:30 uavco MailScanner[13358]: Aborting due to syntax
errors in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf.


How do I define a new keyword for a new rules file?

Should I put this in another rules file?

Any help is appreciated,
