Would German law preclude you from doing the text analysis on the firewall and 
then adding a header (X-Spam-Status) which the user could then check for or 
not in his MUA?

That's what I do using spamassassin.  The user then needs a single rule in 
either his .qmail file or his MUA, and that's done on a per-user basis.
