Some places seem to run virus/spam scanners on their outgoing mail relays
(presumably to catch zombies on their own network), and it wouldn't
surprise
me if Kaspersky had such a product. Kaspersky is an (AFAIK) legitimate
company in the anti-virus business.

Occasionally I'll get spam which went through such an outbound email
scanner which detected that it was spam or botnet spew, marked it as
such, and then forwarded it along to me anyway. I'm not sure what the
point of that is. Maybe their admin gets notified if a machine trips
the filter too many times or something.
