25. The system as recited in claim 23, wherein the second component within the semantic engine determines whether the electronic mail message contains objectionable content based on a determination of whether an objectionable score calculated by assigning weights to certain objectionable words and phrases exceeds a threshold value.
26. The system as recited in claim 19, wherein the second component within the semantic engine, in response to determining that the electronic mail message contains an attachment, forwards the attachment to a screening user and prevents access to the attachment by the recipient until the screening user has authorized access.
27. The system as recited in claim 19, wherein the second component within the semantic engine, responsive to an indication that the electronic mail message contains content appropriate for a different recipient, forwards the electronic mail message to the different recipient.
