(2nd Request) Disable scanning for a client that connectsviaSMTP-AUTH

Business A - ISP located in a co-lo with fast internet and static IP's.  It does web hosting, dial-up internet and mail scanning.
 
Business B & My Personal Internet - Used to be a T1 with static IPs but is now a third party sucky Dynamic DSL.  Now that it is dynamic DSL, I need to relay this mail through the mail scanner at Business A without the other people I have designated as MailWatch Admins in Business A, having the ability see this e-mail at all.  I have an account in the mail scanner setup so I can do SMTP AUTH with TLS.  That works great but ALL incoming mail is scanned unless I add FROM: domain.com no to the scan.messages.rules.  When I do that I get spam from outside sources because it isn't being scanned.
 
I need a sendmail or mailscanner option so that I can bypass scanning for the e-mail from this source only!

Now I don't understand at all. Your business is a hosting service? Providing ip addresses to subscribers? Is your secondary mailserver acquiring its ip from an internal dhcp server. If so can you not make a reservation? If your dynamic ip internet connection is aquired from an external source, does that account not have it own mail box (pop / imap) which a client can access with authentication?

What I need is a way to not scan e-mail when it comes from a trusted source.  Do you know how I can do this?

There are other people that I need to have admin access to mailwatch & mailscanner giving them the ability to add users, change configuration, read & release messages, etc.  I do not want others to be able to read my other business & personal e-mails, etc.  So you see that is why I don't want all mail scanned.
