I know this may not be relevant to this mailing list, but I thought there is 
a lot of guys on the list who are worth consulting!

I have been asked to provide a solution for mail monitoring. This is to
say use of filters and scanning for phrases such as "Confidential .."
This goes for both ascii and binary  ( Non-encrypted data! ).
By filter I mean use of filter or perl script, awk , etc and identification of
attachments. The solutions I have come across are modification of programs
such as "Sendmail" to write everything to a folding log file ( or pipes, etc ).
which will be used by filters as input ...

Another option which has still kind of puzzled me ( Suggested ) to use something
with protocol conversion capability ( such as pp + isode ) which provides hooks
for pre / post processing .


Is there anyoune  out there who has done something in this area ? 

Any info, alternatives is greatly appreciated.

Please send reply to the firewalls or direct  to saeid .

The reply to the header address most likely will go to the microsoft mail 
account which I don't often chech!

Many thanks
Saeid.
