I would point out that anyone who does filtering of email is accepting full
responsibility for the mail flow and unless you write it into your contract
to protect yourself, may be held financially responsible and accountable if
it is proven that mail was not being passed onto the correct recepient.
Under some of the new data protection laws in some countries, they may also
find themselves facing criminal charges.
Personally, if I found out anyone was filtering my email without explicit
permission I would take action against them.
