I didn't know that the PIX did anything more than Packet filtering....does
it really have the capability to do inspection/replacement of the "data"
portion of a TCP packet ?

I know application-gateway firewalls like Sidewinder, Gauntlet, and
Raptor could _possibly_ be configured to do this, and you could certainly
do it with a dual-MTA configuration (where one just queues, a time-triggered
scanning/replacement routine takes the mail from the first MTA's queue, and
then moves it to the second MTA's queue for delivery), but I haven't seen
an actual implementation of this.
