It's actually part of a project I was working on which has to be
demonstrated on May 27th. The code needs to be tidied up a good bit
before then.

When it is available it'll be placed on my webpage.

The only thing I'd say is that this functionality and better is
available by running a proper firewall ruleset and using internal
mailservers and web proxies. Even a simple tcpdump running in the
background would give you the same functionality, with a bit of
sifting through it.

However, I do see the need (or want) for something a little bit
easier to debug and run. This is more of a proof-of-concept idea,
but I'll certainly leave it available once it's done.

Regards,
