Find this in your MailScanner.conf:

Virus Scanning = yes


change it to:

Virus Scanning = %rules-dir%/virus.scanning.rules

and in your rules dir, make a file calle virus.scanning.rules that contains:

To:	*@hisdomain.com		no
To:	*@hisdomain2.com	no
To:	*@hisdomain3.com	no
FromOrTo:	default		yes

so for every domain you don't want to virus scan, list it before the 
FromOrTo line.  If your customer only has one domain, your file will only 
have 2 lines.

Good luck.

Oh, and since it is friday I would send myself a few test viruses and make 
sure that you didn't fowl up anything... =)
