Subject: Avecho Glasswall Anti virus technolog?

Okay, I *THOUGHT* I was kidding with the "block everything not plaintext",
but maybe not.

Their "trust bypass" allows admins to admit certain datatypes past thir
filter.  This implies to be they simply "deny all" and go from there.

Again, safe but not very useful to end-users.
