That made sense, until you factor in the information that the forwarded email is identified correctly. How could that occur if the headers weren't being scanned?

Not strange at all: there are several moments when a MTA can communicate
with a milter, and for a virus scan milter it usually only makes sense
to scan the body of a message, not the headers. There's a presentation
on the Mimedefang site explaining that all.

I use Mimedefang because it communicates through ALL steps of a message
with the MTA, therefore making it possible to scan headers as well.

Here's the presentation:
