ehm... sure, that's the link I reported in my original mail that I tried to
implement. I tried to follow it but I can't really get it working. I don't
think that's fault of the recepe but I must be doing something silly so that
no messages gets into the rule even if I use:

 /.*/                                    HOLD
 /^$/                                    HOLD

I admit this is almost a postfix question but I thuoght this is interesting
for this list and probably there is real knowledge on this subject here.

Personally I don't like the idea of letting it into MailScanner. There's no
point in Scanning 50.000 email in a newsletter not even just for
phishing/virus: the're all the same!!!

Thanks anyhow for the hints on the ruleset, I'll use that in the meanwhile.
