Virus Detection w/ Email Attachments


CodeAndCoffee

Recommended Posts

I've been thinking of techniques used by email providers to detect (unless they aren't directly detected, but it is assumed to be) a virus within an email attachment, per say. Besides, I'm generally interested in virus detection and consulted many research papers with no success whatsoever. Does anyone know a method? Are there any email providers using PHP in the backend anyway?

Bayesian filtering is the first place to start your quest. It can actually be very powerful once educated properly.

Not that I've ever heard of. Wrong tool for the job. If some software supported "hooks" then you could probably use a PHP script for that part, but for the actual email server itself no.
