I received this forwarded e-mail from an uncle who works at BAE Systems. It is interesting to note that a whopping ~40% of the e-mails received by BAE Systems North America is spam e-mail. Even Bill-ionaires hate spam e-mail.

Subject: New Enhancement to E-Mail SPAM Filtering
On Wednesday 10/22, BAE SYSTEMS North America IT implemented an
additional layer of protection against offensive SPAM e-mail.
BAE SYSTEMS North America Human Resources and Legal departments have
reviewed and approved the implementation of additional filters in our
Spam filtering application from Trend Micro to block e-mails with "key
word content" that includes profanity, sexual discrimination and
racial discrimination.
When e-mail coming inbound from the Internet to BAE SYSTEMS North
America is identified by Trend Micro as containing the abovementioned
offensive content, it will be deleted automatically by the server and
no notifications will be sent to either the sender or intended
recipient. If e-mail originating within the BAE SYSTEMS global network
is identified by Trend as containing any of
the abovementioned offensive content, it will be deleted and a message
will be sent to the sender notifying them that their message was
deleted due to offensive content.
Please keep in mind that Spam blocking is not an "exact science".
Spammers find new ways every day to get around automated Spam blocking
filters and applications and BAE SYSTEMS North America can make no
guarantees that all Spam can or will be blocked, however, we hope to
see another marked increase in the amount of Spam that we are able to
block. Currently, about 40% of all e-mail received by BAE SYSTEMS
North America is Spam.
Please feel free to call Jim Finch (IEWS Manager Comp./Network
Security) on ext. 5-4413 with any questions.
