- Using regex for filtering texts ( personal information eg: phone number, address ).
What do you mean by "filter"? Stop or hold delivery, or "sanitize" the message? If the former, I would drop the motivation about "personal" information, because body filtering is also desired for spam-filtering and avoiding flame-war reasons.
- Checking type of files that can be attached to the mails. For eg: .exe not allowed.
This is right out as it's already implemented.
- If there are multiple attachments in the email
If (multiple attachments) then
for each attachment if(not appropriate) then discard notify sender that this part is removed from email body and why else continue
Also already done (except for the notification part.
Is it big enough for a gsoc proposal?
I don't think writing multiple unrelated plugins is a good proposal. AFAIK GSoC is intended to be a single project with enough scope to require a certain amoung of design and planning.
Sir I am very sorry but I could not fully understand our last discussion. Are you trying to say that I should work on sanitizing the message and building a spam filter?
Thank You Prakash Kumar
