I don't think this is such a serious issue to require such measures.
Can I suggest a compromise...

Add the following lines to MailScanner.conf...

# Enter a short identifying name for your organisation below, this is
# used to make the X-MailScanner headers unique for your organisation.
# Multiple servers within one site should use an identical value here
# to avoid adding multiple redundant headers where mail has passed
# through several servers within your organisation.
%org-name% =

Then change the following lines as shown...

Mail Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner:

Spam Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-SpamCheck:

Spam Score Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-SpamScore:

Information Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-Information:
