I suspect it's informational for people checking the headers as to why
things get rejected or passed, and what checking has been done before;
it's possible that you would like to know if it has been passed as clean
or as a virus, but don't reject the mails in case it's a false positive
(maybe you are intentionally mailing each other viruses! Imagine how a
virus checker author works :)
