What I want to do is not to precess this realtime, but redirect the messages and then reinsert the filtered messages. The reason for this is that the application doing the mailprocessing is quite bulky, and as such is implemented as a service instead of being shot off for each incoming message. The program I am making now will only remove the incoming mail from the 'regular' workflow, scan it through the service and act upon the result from that service. > For virus scanning, you will likely need to write > your own file > handling routines, and for spam scanning you will likely need > to write your > own DNS engine. Well, most of the 'behind-the-scenes' stuff is ready and we have implemented both the virusscanning, spamblocking and attachmenthandling on an account basis using program aliases. > It > may sound like > nit-picking, but that's exactly what the RFCs are all about. <G> Actually, I knew, just forgot about it. > >However, I am unable to 'catch' the messages as they pass through. > >Since both servers are online 24/7 (or should be) mail is instantly > >relayed to othercompany.com the second it arrives. > > How are you trying to catch the E-mails?

Yes, if I was to use the filsystemwatcher that would be the deal, yes. I made a simple implementation of this while I was waiting for the replies to my message, so it wasnt' much work. Had to learn vb, though, and that took about 3 minutes as well... :-) > Stability, accuracy, and scalability are key issues when scanning all > E-mail.
