CodeAndCoffee Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know a method? Bayesian filtering is the first place to start your quest. It can actually be very powerful once educated properly. Are there any email providers using PHP in the backend anyway?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.

CodeAndCoffee Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks. Dumb habit of using "per say". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
