In addition to "reports/*/*.txt", places that seem to contain the string
"X-MailScanner" hardwired (based on a "grep -r X-MailScanner .") are:

   ./MailScanner.conf:Envelope From Header = X-MailScanner-From:
   ./MailScanner.conf:Envelope To Header = X-MailScanner-To:

   ./mailscanner.conf.with.mcp:Mail Header = X-MailScanner:
   ./mailscanner.conf.with.mcp:Spam Header = X-MailScanner-SpamCheck:
   ./mailscanner.conf.with.mcp:Spam Score Header = X-MailScanner-SpamScore:
   ./mailscanner.conf.with.mcp:Information Header = X-MailScanner-Information:
   ./mailscanner.conf.with.mcp:MCP Header = X-MailScanner-MCPCheck:

   ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf:bayes_ignore_header X-MailScanner
   ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf:bayes_ignore_header X-MailScanner-SpamCheck
   ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf:bayes_ignore_header X-MailScanner-SpamScore
   ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf:bayes_ignore_header X-MailScanner-Information

My guess is that the "MailScanner.conf" instances would be trivial, and
probably also those in "mailscanner.conf.with.mcp".

Those in "spam.assassin.prefs.conf" might be more tricky, as the
site-installed file would probably need to be a tailored version of the
distributed one.  (Can "spam.assassin.prefs.conf" handle perl variables?).
I suppose a comment in "MailScanner.conf" above "Mail Headers" saying:
  # Remember to adjust "bayes_ignore_header" entries in
  # "spam.assassin.prefs.conf"

might be a workaround.  (Now if we were using "autoconf"...!)

Hope that helps.  (Happy sunny weekend!)
