MailScanner does not allow SpamAssassin to modify the message. However, 
you can have a SA rule and then have a "header" action in the 
SpamAssassin Rule Actions setup.

SpamAssassin is the wrong tool for determining if a message is a virus. 
Maybe you want to use the "generic" virus scanner that MailScanner 
allows you to implement yourself?
