The problem is that Web Apps running on the server (like a PHP-based CMS 
for example) will send mail that appears to come from 127.0.0.1 if the 
webpage is running on the same server MailScanner is running, so 
whitelisting that IP will mean that if your server is compromised it 
will send out bad e-mails without any sort of control.

Otherwise you can use "scan messages" along with a ruleset to avoid 
scanning local messages.
