2 things:

1. MailScanner uses the sender address in the envelope, not the From: 
address that may happen to appear in the headers. Check you are checking 
the real address.
2. You should add a default rule to your ruleset
    FromOrTo: default 5
3. You are doing a "service MailScanner reload" or equivalent (e.g. HUP 
the MailScanner processes).

Oh, that's 3, never mind :-)
