We do.  We have to comply with HIPAA regulations and sending PHI
(personal health information) unsecured outside our company would be a
bad thing for us.  As a result we scan for a number of message
criteria such as SSN, Birth date, various other key terms to prevent
calls to our PHI compliance officer.  We use some products from
Tumbleweed.  Very expensive.

At this point we bounce back to the sender any message that trigger
the filter and kick a copy of the message to the compliance group.  We
have a manual keyword trigger that's supposed to be there to encrypt
messages and we have one to 'bypass' the filters but that also kicks a
copy of the message to the compliance team.  This has occasionally
resulted in discussions with people who 'should know better' and they
then find out that they 'will not do this again' in an uncomfortable
meeting.
