Well there lies your problem.. and i had previously hinted on this as 
well. You have

Dangerous Content Scanning = %rules-dir%/user.content.rules

and /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/rules/user.content.rules
To:	default		no	
From:	default		no	

Which indicates that you are not checking for 'Dangerous Content 
Scanning'. Filename/type checks depend on 'Dangerous Content Scanning'.. 
set the From to 'yes' and re-test.
