very nice sappenin! 1. I think it would be a nice feature, that if a message had more than one body and a certain body was infected, you didnt just junk the whole email. And I think exchange follows along this route, at least to an extent, as it will block attachments, but not the body, or maybe it doesnt, as I have (knock on wood 3 times) never gotten avirus in the/an email. It does have the capibility of blocking certain types of attachments $feature$, as it annoyingly does to me. 2. as with the above, you would probaly want some configurable interface (jboss-service.xml), that would allow an admin to configure, as with any virus scanner, it could be configured to do or attempt, any of what you described, I like your idea of cleansing and rewriting, that way, if you got a chain of emails bodies, within a single message, you could just rewrite the "cleansed" portion, notifying the end user Guess you/I could just go on and on... anyways, again, good job!
