Abstract
A method and system for preventing the exploitation of email messages in attacks on computer systems. Invalid formatting is often used by attackers to introduce undesirable content into email, because email handling applications and utilities are often insensitive to deviations from the standards, and invalid formatting can allow undesirable content to go undetected. According to the present invention, an original email message is decomposed into component parts, which are formatted according to email message standards. Format-compliant components are inspected for undesirable content and reassembled into a replacement email message that is sent to the destination of the original email message. Components with undesirable content are sanitized.
