"Dangerous Content" or "Banned Content"?

[Bingham, Ryan]

Merriam-Webster isn't as creative with banned:

*****
Entry Word: banned
Function: adjective
Text: 1 
Synonyms FORBIDDEN, prohibited, verboten
2 
Synonyms CONTRABAND, hot

Entry Word: forbidden
Function: adjective
Text: not permitted or allowed <accepting bribes is forbidden>
Synonyms banned, prohibited, verboten
Antonyms permitted
*****

Prohibited might work.  I agree, though, that the optimal solution would
be to make it configurable.

The thesaurus entry for banned might be more appropriate since Julian
was looking to move away from dangerous...

Off the top of my head {Restricted Content} might be better, but I
think if it's configurable in the MailScanner.conf file, it's really a
non-issue as anyone who doesn't like the default banned or restricted
or whatever is chosen, can just change it to their liking (including
back to {Dangerous Content} is they so desire...)
