I would disagree re. virus checking - not least because viruses do not just affect the person infected. Spam filtering is a different matter and I believe the eventual intention is to give the users control over this.

AFAIK virus and some level of spam filtering has been in place since the beginning of December, but it seems quite hard to get any details. Certainly I haven't noticed any significant reduction in the amount of SPAM being trapped by Spamcop, but other posters do seem to have noticed a reduction - maybe a phased roll-out?
