You can find out exactly what it's looking for in the SpamAssassin.sfd
file in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\messenger
Alternatively you can tell people to use a custom definition file in
their profile folder to teach it about MailScanner's headers.
See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=276420 for a brief
explanation.
I've attached my MailScanner.sfd file but of course it needs adapting
for each user to take account of the %org-name%.
