Checking for strings in outbound mail

[Chris Campbell]

I have done this with SpamAssassin. Basically...here is a snip of my
spam.assassin.prefs.conf


full  FREE_TEEN /free teen/i
describe FREE_TEEN   profanity email
score  FREE_TEEN 50.0


This basically says, give any email with the string "free porn" anywhere in
the email a score of 50.
If anyone needs anymore help, don't be afraid to ask for some more help :)

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 :)
