New challenge : ok_languages allow and disallow per user

Hi List!

I have a new challenge. We got lot and lots (and lots) of chinese spam
mails even though nobody in the company could read Chinese. So I blocked
all messages in Chinese and all was fine.

However, we now do have some Chinese people within the company and they
would like to e-mail in Chinese too.

What are my options without bothering everyone else in the company with
Chinese e-mails again, I guess we cannot differentiate in the
ok_languages and ok_locales rules from s.a.prefs per user?

I would still ike to do spam scanning on the Chinese mails too but not
just block them because they are in Chinese? I would prefer to keep them
on the general mail domain that the rest of the company is using too.

I could register a new .cn domain name and exempt that from spam scanning
at all.

Alternatively I could reg a new .cn domain name and hopefully apply a
different set of spam.assassin.prefs for that particular domain.

Use an entirely different server for their e-mail so I can apply different
MailScanner and SA rulesets (really ugly because I will have to maintain
yet another server).

Or does anybody know any pretty solutions to this?

Thanks list and happy holidays!!
