Hi!

[ Thanks Phil for notifying me. I read exim-users if my spare free time
allows me this via my University account :) ]

Well, the script within AMaViS 0.1.x / 0.2.x was actually called
"scanmails". But I'm not sure, if this already points to AMaViS.
(well, btw, ScanMail is a registered trademark of Trend Micro)

AMaViS uses "scanned-ok", yes. But this method was described in the exim
FAQ and the example configs, and the concept itself was invented by Marc
Haber (that's why Phil and Marc are listed in the credit section of
README.exim). In short, using "scanned-ok" does not mean it's (always)
based on AMaViS.

IIRC the script Marc uses was called "scanmail", see

Just as a side note: AMaViS never and will never change the content of a
message (except for an additional entry in the msg header, but this can
be disabled). At least as long Lars and /me are the maintainer of
AMaViS. :-)
