Not really interresting:-). All government agencies in Sweden are
required to be "available to the public", which in the case of email
means we need to take care exactly what measures are applied
automagically... Since we who implement spam and virus filters
typically aren't lawyers, Statskontoret (a kind of
uber-service-office:-) has issued some fairly detailed guidelines on
what we can do, and what we can't... It's still a bit murky in these
waters, but the type of automatic blocking of traffic (no matter the
FP/FN rate) is specifically detailed as a no-no. Sigh.
So for the time being, I can only look upon such schemes ... with longing:-)

Thank you.
I took the liberty of changing the <code> tag to <code perl> to get
some nice syntax highlighting... Feel free to change it back:-).
