I have just released beta version 4.37.5.
There is one major new feature in this release, the ability to add any
number of arbitrary headers to messages depending on the spam/mcp status.

This is designed to be very useful for sites migrating to MailScanner
from other anti-spam systems. For example, SpamAssassin (when used
without MailScanner) will add a header "X-Spam-Status: YES" to outgoing
messages, which many users filter automatically. With this new feature,
the extra header can be generated so that they do not have to change
anything when the site migrates to MailScanner.

Spam and MCP actions (and of course their non- and high-scoring-
alternatives) can now include extra headers which are added in each
case. These entire headers must be contained in double quotes. So for
example, you can have
    Spam Actions = header "X-Spam-Status: yes" deliver
and the message will be delivered but with the extra header
    X-Spam-Status: yes
added to the message.
You can have more than one extra header in the actions setting, add as
many as you like.

In the case where matching headers already exists in the message, the
MailScanner.conf setting
    Multiple Headers
is consulted to decide whether to append, add or replace the header.
