I work for an ISP, We had a similar problem.  Obviously we cant do too
aggressive scanning, people after all make up their own minds what is
spam.

So what we did was this.  We setup Mailscanner not to modify subject,
to deliver all email message, only adding headers.

This way people can filter their mail using their own rules in their
email clients and we don't get accused of stopping legitimate email.

Since making the above configuration changes we have not had one person
request their mail not be scanned.  Of course the computer savyness of
the average Internet user, means they don't even know the headers are
there and they therefor go un-used.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't
