No, the virus scanning software is trivial. McAffee has had it for x86 Linux

the email and notify both parties. That's not particularly trivial.
In my somewhat limited use of it I've found the Perl MIME::* modules
to be very useful. It is trivial, for example, to take a file on
stdin, parse the mime structure, examine the content type and
content itself, do encoding transformations, run programs against
individual parts, etc.
