bypass mailscanner for certain senders

[Duncan, Brian M.]

I use the following (the IP's are just an example of how specific or
unspecific you can be - I personally only list the IP's at a /32 level
of my internal mail servers that relay through the servers - We already
have 2 levels of email virus scanning for inside going out so we do NOT
need MailScanner to do outgoing mail)

Change MailScanner.conf line:
Scan Messages = yes
to:
Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules

Example scan.messages.rules: (which is located in /etc/MailScanner/rules
in my case)

From:     10.1.10.1         no
From:     10.1.10.2         no
From:     10.10.             no
From:     10.2.10.          no
FromOrTo: default           yes

The above will do ALL MailScanner related stuff to ALL messages coming
from any other IP other then 10.1.10.1, 10.1.10.2, anything on 10.10.x.x
subnet, and anything on 10.2.10.x subnet.  All other messages will just
be passed through with nothing done to them. So keep this in mind if you
still need Virus Scanning done and it's NOT just Spam checking you want
to turn off on outgoing mail.
