Abstract

Apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture are claimed for processing code comprising the preprocessing of code, transferring of the code from a storage area to a transfer component, decomposing the code, valuing the code, and comparing the code to a threshold value. The processing indicates the presence or absence of proscribed code, which may be spam, virii, confidential material, harassing material, etc. and so the code may be redirected. The especially preferred embodiments operate within a UNIX sendmail environment.
