That law is very silly if applied to e-mail.  Presumably, if deleting
in-transit e-mail is illegal, then so is modifying it in any way, and hence
it's probably illegal to do anything on mail servers to minimize risks from
viruses.

I can't believe that law would apply to private companies or, in fact,
to anyone other than ISPs or service providers.  Surely a private
organization can do whatever it likes with its e-mail.
