After upgrading our Ironport Appliances to version 5.1.2 (as intermediate to be able to continue to 5.5.1), we noticed this tiny configuration setting "Regional Scanning" - which offers only the region "China".
Is this the beginning of Ironport boxes segregating the whole world into regions with different censorship needs?
EDIT: A writer from Heise Online asked Ironport INC about this measure and they said it is because they need different spam detection algorithms to reliably separate chinese spam from chinese ham (good mails). I was a little bit too paranoid this time.
