I'm not an expert by any means but perhaps doing an 'od -c' on the file and posting it here might help someone to spot the problem.

  No it was created on UNIX on the e-mail server

  This isn't a DOS, instead of a UNIX file, perhaps? Was it created and modified on the server or did you copy it from a Windows machine? Do you need to run dos2unix on it?

    Are you certain you didn't type ";" instead of ":" in you rule file? It sort of indicates that one of your lines needs that ":" in it

      I did make sure that the capitalization was the same through it all and that everything was spaced out the same as well, still got the same error message.  Did discover that everything seemed to be working properly with Mail Scanner until I attempted to send out an e-mail from one of the domains that I had listed.  Once that e-mail attempted to go through the system the syntax error appeared.

      have you made sure there no tab's in that ruleset.
      check out the examples in the examples dir and here.

      http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:rulesets:examples&s=rules

      yes you'll need the default entry , try making sure the capitalisasion is consistent with the examples as welll.

      To: @domain1.com deliver
      To: @domain2.com deliver
      From: ip.address        store
      FromOrTo: default       deliver

      Alex,

      So I tried out your suggestion and put in a a ruleset in the non-spam actions. rules that read
      to: *@domain1.com deliver
      to: *@domain2.com deliver
      from: ip.address        store
      and then when that did not work added
      fromorTo: default       deliver

      Still did not work and all e-mails coming into the company were lost (dang it) and I kept getting an error message saying   Syntax error in "header" action in spam actions,
      missing ":" in etc/MailScanner/rules/non.spam.rules

      We have checked and rechecked the rule-set pattern to see if we missed something and have tried a few things and nothing has worked so far.  We would like to not have to set up an additional smtp server to take care of this issue so any additional thoughts would be great, or let me know if you need/want any additional information

      You can probably add the test server's IP to the spam whitelist, then add a "non-spam actions" ruleset that says something like:

      To:allowed.domain.com deliver
      To:allowed2.domain.com deliver
      From:xx.xx.xx.xx store

      That way, the first two domains "hit" and "deliver" the e-mails, while anything else from the test server will be "stored" - you could use "delete" but just in case use "store" so you can release them if necessary.
