IIRC, this does exactly what it says on the tin... It will prevent the
signing of a message detected to have passed through MS already (on
another host), so that if you have several MailScanners "chained
together" (think secondary MX palming things off to a primary MX after
a stop, type of things) only the first get to leave a visible mark in
the body. AFAIR that is it... Both instances will scan as normal.
