O.K :(
The value addition my software would be doing is virus
scanning. When an email arrives, my software would
invoke a virus scanner. like ClamAV, on the mail
message. I will create a temporary file from the email
message and pass this file to the Virus scanner. If
the virus scanner says there is some virus in that
message file then, my software will alert the user.
I have seen in Mac OS X tiger server OS , apple doing
this. Apple uses ClamAV to scan the emails at the
server. I want to do the same at the client side.
thanks,
ameen.
