Make sure you aren't just giving it files that are too small to trigger it:
Attachments Min Total Size To Zip = 100k
is the default setting.

Also, remember that MailScanner uses the envelope sender and 
recipient(s) and not the addresses that appear in the headers.

Have you checked it with "MailScanner --lint"? Also, what happens when 
you do a command like this:
MailScanner --value=zipattachments --from user at domain1.com
and then an opposite example:
MailScanner --value=zipattachments --from user at domain2.com
The first one should give you a "no" result while the 2nd one should 
give you a "yes" result.

If that works, then your ruleset is correct, and so you need to get back 
to us so I can take a look and test it out myself.

Don't quite understand your point here.
