Do these establishments also veto the timely application of antivirus pattern
updates?  Or security updates on core infrastructure servers?

A core rule update for spamassassin is akin to an antivirus detection patterns
update.

I'm sorry, but I don't think we should be pandering to the cluelessness of
bureaucrats here.

If they were truly paranoid about security they'd be getting SA updates on as
fast as possible, automatically.
