Checking for strings in outbound mail

[Richard Heggs]

Hi list,

I'm looking at replacing our current proprietary mail scanner (MailSweeper)
with an open source alternative, and MailScanner looks like it might do the
job.  One of the requirements I have is that incoming and outgoing mail have to
be scanned for objectionable content (read: naughty words :) and redirected to
a holding queue if the scan is positive.

I'm not sure if MailSacnner/SpamAssassin can do this, but I'd appreciate some
pointers if anyone has any... my requirement seems similar to Remco Barendese's
and Sean Emery's.

Thanks :)
