Those protocols are not HTTPish as you say, but the conversation between eg your MUA and the ICAP server will be IRML over HTTP, just like your MUA's conversation to eg an LDAP server will be using LDAP. So your IMAP client talks IMAP to the IMAP server. Either the client or the server might talk ICAP to the ICAP server and decide what to do with a message based on its response. Your MTA even could block mail on arrival if it could talk ICAP. A sendmail milter could be an ICAP client. >Also what implements it? I don't know yet, but anti-virus people (eg Symantec) I'm told are starting to offer ICAP servers. There's a Squid out there with an ICAP client. Plug these two together and you can't download viruses :) Matt ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Are you worried about your web server security?
