Not sure what that protects against.  Personally I find it clearer to deal w/the actual settings.  Easier to spot typos or mistakes than when people "sanitize" things.  Sometimes they sanitize right over the error.

Anyway, in MailScanner.conf set the following:
%org-name% = MYCOMPANY
Envelope From Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-From:

In spam.assassin.prefs.conf set
envelope_sender_header X-MYCOMPANY-MailScanner-From

As per the notes in the file, make sure you don't have any illegal characters in the org-name.  To wit:
# Note: Some Symantec scanners complain (incorrectly) about "."
# ***** characters appearing in the names of headers.
#       Some other mail servers complain about "_" characters
#       appearing in the names of headers as well.
#       So don't put "." or "_" in this setting.
#
# **** RULE: It must not contain any spaces! ****

HTH...
