  Well there are two problems:

  1) We prefer not to use Perl as long as we can
  2) We are trying to do this without a real MTA. I mean, this should run 
without the need for a HDD so most MTA wont conform to SMTP RFC if some kind 
of HDD is not present (you know, you can loose the mail if a powerdown 
occurs). Emailrelay only confirms reception once it has received it himself 
so this doesnt apply.

  But YES we are seeking for some kind of SPAM control too. But one step at a 
time, we have achieved virus, now are trying "anti relay", next ...

  Surely, the commercial side will be left out but we will give clear 
instructions of how to install such application. For example, we will build 
fprot_needed.lrp with all the parts that are open and then give instructions 
of how to glue the propietary parts, lets say: download from X, unpack, take 
the file Y.exe put it in Z directory, save your package. This will be done 
for every AV engine we achieve to work by (for example fprot and AVP).

  Also many people could ask why not using an open AV (openantivirus). The 
engine could be OK (we have not tested) but the viri database and fast 
updates are even more important and this is something an open project is not 
able to do offer right now.

  We are going to take a week holliday break. We will contact you with all 
our work as soon as we return.

  Regards.
