In MailScanner.conf :

Virus Scanning = %rules-dir%/not.localnetwork.rules
Spam Checks = %rules-dir%/not.localnetwork.rules

In rules/not.localnetwork.rules :

From:   199.243.151.21   no
# maybe others with the internal network address
# From:     192.168.0.    no
FromOrTo: default        yes

That should do it.
