As Alex stated.

Another way is put them in a file.

For example...

Make certain you have a "rules" directory in your MailScanner
directory, probably already have it.

In MailScanner.conf:Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules


You may already have the file in your rules dir (version depending).
If not create it and put something like this into it to help you get
started:

# The purpose of this file is to establish a rule set
# to be used to tell MailScanner if an email should be
# scanned or not.
#
# The question is:
#  "Should an email having this pattern be scanned?"
#
# An answer of yes causes it to be scanned.
# An answer of no  causes it to by pass all scanning.
#
# The line format is "ruleset pattern       answer"
#
# A sample ruleset would look like this:
#   From:     ignore.domain.com         no
#   From:     trusted.email.address     no
#   FromOrTo: default                       yes


From: yourtrustedemailaddress.their.domain            no
