German court rules e-mail blocking 'illegal'.

[Felix Schwarz]

Hi,

in addition to the things Christoph Peter mentioned I want to say that
the whole point is that every user must agree that you may block some
of his mails because MailScanner or any other filtering software
think that they are spam or are infected.

You are not allowed to suppress mails if the user doesn't want this
and he must have the option to stop the filtering. If your users are
employees everything should be fine because it may be a coporate wide
policy.

I think this decision doesn't create a new situation at all.

A analysis of the court ruling is available at:
