This is a huge deal. Have you since found a work around? We definitely need the ability to disable scanning for accounts for outgoing emails as this adds a considerable strain for our clients that send out newsletters to our clients.

It is not possible to get around this as far as we are aware. The option used is not available in cPanel and there is no other way to do it.

In one way it's actually better to add individual domains to /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules than to just not scan outgoing mail at all.

Scanning outgoing mail by default can offer some protection if an email account is compromised or if a web form is high-jacked.
