Very simple. Instead of putting "my.domain.com" in there, tell it to use 
the names of the machines instead. You can do this with a rule like this 
in modern versions of MailScanner:

From:  host:my.domain.com  no
FromOrTo:  default  yes

Then any mail coming from computers who have a hostname in the 
"my.domain.com" domain will not be scanned, but all other mail will be 
scanned.
