How can i configure my exim.conf if i want that ClamAV add some header to
message. For example(clamav-milter+sendmail):
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.80/1142/Tue Oct 18 10:21:37 2005
     clamav-milter version 0.80j
     on domain.com
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.87, clamav-milter version 0.87 on
domain.com


You probably shouldn't say this:
X-Virus-Status: Clean

Presumably, if it isn't clean you'll reject the email, which makes this redundant. More importantly, it won't always be true. No anti-virus software detects all viruses. ClamAV isn't even the best.

When will it mislead? Well, nobody's going to inspect the headers without a reason. That reason would be the case where an email has suspect content. The suspicion may arise because of a new epidemic. That's exactly the point where you don't want to be telling people they've nothing to worry about.

Having the scan date, and clamav version might help determine why a virus wasn't detected, so that's a good idea. For example, you could compare the scan time with the time that you got a new virus definition.
