That's wrong, you haven't told it the directory name. It should say
Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/content.scanning.rules

They don't need to be tabs. The only time you need tabs is in 
filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf.

Hi Julian

Sorry about this, I do have it configured as you described. What I am
trying to do is use the whitelist created within MailWatch. This is
accessed via &SQLWhitelist in the MailScanner.conf.

The whitelist works fine when its used where its supposed to be, ie 
Is Definitely not spam = &SQLWhitelist

But when I use to at 
Scan Messages = &SQLWhitelist 
It doesn't scan any messages.

Just wondering if it is possible to not scan messages in the whitelist
rather than scanning them but never marking them as spam. (since
whitelist still gets scanned for viruses and filenames etc).


Thanks again

Kit
