While using Outlook / Exchange 2000 is there any software for checking the contents of images sent / recieved as attachments (for example to exclude 'offensive'images)?

While it might be nice to have an image content scanner, I cannot think of any way to implement one.
This is an even harder task to control than the web filters used to block porn sites.

Beyond suggestive file names, I just don't know what you can reliably look for.

Every content and web control software that I have seen looks for key names in files or text.

The links in answer 1 do not look like the software actually scans image files for content.
It looks like the software can be set to strip image files totally by file type, not content.
