# this contains the usual list of addresses to check or not to check
MCP Checks = /etc/MailScanner/rules/mcp_checks.rules

First Check = MCP

MCP Required SpamAssassin Score = 5
MCP High SpamAssassin Score = 9
MCP Error Score = 1

# we use "PHI" for "patient health information"
MCP Header = X-XXCHC-PHI-Monitor:
Non MCP Actions = deliver

MCP Actions = store-nonmcp
High Scoring MCP Actions = store-mcp
Bounce MCP As Attachment = no

MCP Modify Subject = no
MCP Subject Text =
High Scoring MCP Modify Subject = no
High Scoring MCP Subject Text = {PHI}

Is Definitely MCP = no
Is Definitely Not MCP = no
Definite MCP Is High Scoring = no
Always Include MCP Report = yes
Detailed MCP Report = yes
Include Scores In MCP Report = yes

In /etc/MailScanner/mcp I have rulesets like this one:

File: /etc/MailScanner/mcp/20_Numbers_and_Codes.cf

### Patient Identification Codes

header      SUBJ_XXID1      Subject =~ /\b005[4-8]\d{4}\b/
describe    SUBJ_XXID1      XXCHC Patient ID with 0054-8 in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_XXID1      10

header      SUBJ_XXID2      Subject =~ /\b1005[89]\d+\b/
describe    SUBJ_XXID2      XXCHC Patient ID with 10058-9 in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_XXID2      10

header      SUBJ_XXID3      Subject =~ /\b1006[0123]\d+\b/
describe    SUBJ_XXID3      XXCHC Patient ID with 10060-63 in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_XXID3      10

header      SUBJ_XXID4      Subject =~ /\b00000\d{3}\b/
describe    SUBJ_XXID4      Possible XXCHC Patient ID in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_XXID4      5

# They use some pretty generic patient IDs like 00001234.
header      SUBJ_XXID5      Subject =~ /\b0000\d{4}\b/
describe    SUBJ_XXID5      Possible XXCHC Patient ID in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_XXID5      5

header      SUBJ_SSN1       Subject =~ /\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/
describe    SUBJ_SSN1       Likely Social Security Number in Subject Header
score       SUBJ_SSN1       10

[etc.]

A score of ten results in the message being quarantined and a notice 
sent to the administrator and the message sender.  A score of five sends 
notices but permits the message to be sent to its recipient.

Hope this helps, Jerry!
