Virus Scanning when MailScanner is set to ignore domain

[Kris Shaw]

Hello,

I building a new mail relay and it currently sits in front of an existing MailScanner server that is working OK. The new relay has MailScanner installed, but as I don't want to double scan messages until I switch things over I have created a ruleset that disables MailScanner scanning by default.

Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules

scan.messages.rules contains:
To:             kshaw at xxxx.co.uk       yes
FromOrTo:       default                 no

Even though it takes no action, MailScanner is still virus checking messages, as seen by clamav activity using 'top'. Running MailScanner in debug mode reveals:
