How to White List from MailScanner

[Julian Field]

If you want the "big switch" setting to put a ruleset on, it's called 
"Scan Messages".
You can whitelist a particular IP or hostname like this:
Set in MailScanner.conf:
Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules

And then in /etc/MailScanner/rules/scan.messages.rules put things like this:

From: 192.168.  no
From: host:yoursafedomain.com no
FromOrTo: default yes

This will whitelist all machines whose IP addresses start with 192.168 
and any host whose hostname is in "yoursafedomain.com" (notice the 
"host:" in this rule!). If you leave out the "host:" bit, then it will 
whitelist all mail whose sender address claims to be 
anything at yoursafedomain.com which is very dangerous as the sender 
address can be trivially faked!

Hope that helps get you going.

The next finer controls than "Scan Messages" are "Virus Scanning = yes", 
"Dangerous Content Scanning = yes" and "Spam Checks = yes", if you want 
to control certain major areas of processing.
