How to ignore all outgoing mail in MailScanner

[Martin.Hepworth]

Ronny

Yes you can add a ruleset whereby the internal ip-addresses/networks are not scanned (either at all or at various stages).

I do this here, don't spam scan outbound (ie FROM my internal email server), but do virus scan and add the footer below.

The 'big off' switch is "Scan messages" in MailScanner.conf
