Re: [cobalt-users] email scanning

[sven@xxxxxx]

You can also add a host that runs Mailsweeper. (does not work on the Raq,
but Unix & NT are supported)
This is an emailgateway (seperate pc), that strips messages, scans them for
files, words, contents, virii, and is able to add a disclaimer.
Site is www.mimesweeper.com
It searches for words (you define) like XXX and sex and dick and free
vacation, BUT has the ability, to look for other words that are in
sentences nearby. So, dick with no other word mentioned found, will go
through, dick found, with less than 10 words further breast, will probably
get blocked. Block mails that contain phrases like: WIN A FREE HOLIDAY, but
let mails with words like: The free holiday I won was great, here are the
pictures, pass. It also scans attachements, and renaming the extension is
no use! I saw a zipped doc, renamed to a txt, getting zipped again + a
renaming turning out to be a doc file! Cool soft, bit expensive, but it has
potential. Picture scanning (actually defining whether it is a nude or a
bathing costume) will be available in the near future.

If you had left my entire email instead of trimming all of my
contents,(however I do appreciate you trimming, this list needs a lesson
in it!)  ... <trimmed :-) >
