It's a string. You could define it to be the name of a file but it would 
be literally that name, not the contents of the file.

Yes, it's a variable, but it is defined in MailScanner.conf by

%org-name% = yoursite

Later definitions such as

Spam-Virus Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-SpamVirus-Report:

get expanded into

Spam-Virus Header = X-yoursite-MailScanner-SpamVirus-Report:

at the point of definition, not at the point of use. I understand you 
want the expansion to be deferred until all the conf.d files have been 
processed, but that's not the way it works. It works as documented. 
Arguably what you would want is better, but I don't think it's worth any 
significant effort to implement it at this point.
