Sector 5 Policy - Googlemail

[Canopus]

I've searched Googlemail and the web, but, can't find an answer to this.

Some spam submitted to SpamCop via my Googlemail account generates a mail
delivery Failure Notification stating the reason as "PERM_FAILURE: Message
rejected for Sector 5 policy reasons." As I couldn't find any info
anywhere what this means I mailed Google, but, it doesn't look as if I'll
get a reply. Anyone have any idea what is generating this bounce, what a
Sector 5 Policy is? It only happens once or twice a week so it's not too
big an issue, but, if I can prevent it all the better.

Without doing any searching, or 'thinking' for that matter, my first
shoot-from-the-hip guess is that it simply refers to the non-specific
5xx permanent failure [as opposed to the temporary 4xx] family of
failure messages.

I'm still non the wiser <grin>. I sent three submissions of just now and
one generated the Sector 5 policy reason. Could it have maybe a virus in
it as Googlemail do stop anything they detect as virus laden? I read and
submit everything via MailWasher so I see mail in plain text so would miss
an exe attached.
