Virus Spam - X-MailScanner

From: SysAdmin (no email)

I've been doing a little looking at some email bounces to myself and to a
few friends that have written me asking "What's up with this?" and I've
found a header line that seems potentially bogus. It reads:

X-MailScanner: Found to be clean

Is this a line that is inserted by a known (by anyone on this group) mail
scanning agent, or is this likely (or known to be) an artifact of a
spammer/virus trying to make it look clean..???

I guess it's the phrasing that seems odd to me. I would have expected
something more terse (like "Verified", or "Clean"). "Found to be clean"
seems oddly verbose...

The reason for asking is, I'm thinking there might be potential for
filtering on this...

Regards,

Mac
