Feature request: allow null address in rulesets

[Julian Field]

Okay, I found a minor bug stopping this working.
Please apply the attached 1 line patch to Config.pm (in /usr/lib/ 
MailScanner/MailScanner on Linux systems) and then use

From: /^$/ and To: user at domain yes

and you will find it does what you want.
