Actually, most mail filters will not look at the actual DATA portion of the message - rather, the MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: commands (and the connecting host's IP address ot hostname). Thus, the actual DATA (content) of the message is not looked at before determining whether or not to discard the message. If you consider that illegal, then ANY filtering of ANY sort is illegal, since I'd have to look at a packet's IP address or protocol type in order to filter XXX or YYY. -Taner
