I think you're close but you didn't say what was in your
filename.rules.allowall.conf file... maybe you just need to edit your
MailScanner.conf? 

Here's what I did... there may be an easier/different way.

Create two files in your /etc/MailScanner directory:
filename.allow.all.conf
filetype.allow.all.conf
Both containing...

allow	.	-	-

This rule allows all filetypes and names (remember to use tabs between)

Create two files in your rules directory:

filetype.rules
containing....
To: admin at domain.com /etc/MailScanner/filetype.allow.all.conf
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.conf (the filetype rule
default file)

filename.rules
containing....
To: admin at domain.com /etc/MailScanner/filename.allow.all.conf
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf (the filename rule
default file)

Then in MailScanner.conf edit and add....
Filename Rules = /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename.rules
and..
Filetype Rules = /etc/MailScanner/rules/filetype.rules

When an email comes in to admin at domain.com MailScanner directs it to the
allow.conf's and for everyone else it goes to the default conf's.

You may need to adjust the paths depending on your distribution.

Hope this helps.
