<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:

“Virus Scanning” directive. In this ruleset, there is <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>one</span></i> From address for which virus scanning
is disabled, followed by a default of yes. I then pointed the directive in
MailScanner.conf to the path and filename of the ruleset. Unfortunately, the
ruleset is apparently being ignored.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

still be scanned for viruses, however. Following this attempt, I decided to

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:

are fine; in fact, I’m using another ruleset for a different directive
already, in the same format (and it works properly). Any ideas on why the new
one doesn’t appear to have any effect would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
