Look in the documentation for "sign clean messages" and edit the 
corresponding files. You should check to see if you can update your 
MailScanner version or Perl modules since I believe there's a problem in 
some cases when signing clean messages regarding PDF files becoming 
unreadable as a result.

It doesn't. If you don't put the word "deliver", forward will forward, 
not copy. You probably have "deliver forward" instead of "forward".

Tell Postfix to do it.

Use MCP or set spamassassin rules. Find out more at the spamassassin site.

You don't have to. Just set up MailScanner on another computer (you can 
use Microsoft's Virtual Server and create a virtual computer) and do 
your testing from there.
