Well, there is campus-wide anti-virus scanning (such messages are not
relayed) and anti-spam scanning (such messages are relayed but tagged).
Any content filtering for other purposes is not done centrally (but I
suppose it might be done by faculties, schools or central admin who
provide some of their own e-mail systems for their own users). Any
such thing as a copyright warning would either be the fault of the
client or a proprietary mail system.
