Are there companies working on this problem? Filtering outgoing email seems to be a solvable problem just difficult enough to be lucrative.

Google has a "Got the wrong Bob?" labs feature. It's not perfect, but it does prompt you if it thinks you're sending to the wrong person. Unfortunately it seems to mostly work with emails sent to multiple recipients. If you send it to the wrong person, but they're the only person you're sending to, it seems less effective.

Such a lack of detail in the story. I wish they told a bit more details into whether or not the email was set accidentally to one person (Got the wrong Bob) or if some idiot just sent it out to people out side the UBS network ...
