interception of socket connections?

Hi,

A question came up that I thought I would ask here (I have sent an email to Quinn and Christophe as well). I knew how to get the raw data stream in OS 9 using Autopush. Now I wanted to do something "kind of the same" on OS X.

On the Windows platform, Winsock Layered Service Provider (LSP) allows interception of socket connections. One can identify that it is for a POP3 connection and go from there.

What I need to do on OS X, is come up with a way to intercept the traffic coming in and handle *only* POP3 traffic.

Is interception of socket connections possible on OS X? and if so, where is the documentation/code samples which describe interception of socket connections on OS X before they are handled upstream by the local applications.

Randy
