We are currently in the process of establishing a corporate UseNet 
network.  It will consist of Cnews servers, interconnected using
nntp.  Due to management concerns over copyright infringements and
viral attacks I would like to know if anyone is familiar with filters
that may be applied against a file to determine if it contains an
uuencode binary.  

Also, would it be possible to include such a filter in the nntp 
stream so that files containing the information could be intercepted
and removed or redirected.

Please email any info that you have and summarize in a later posting.

Thanks in advance.
