The title says all this. This is one of my works and I need some help in getting started. The basic idea behind the assignment is that I have to create a self destructive email program that is able to destroy message (n) after the time period. .
Speaking about self destructive emails, there are some very similar services offered on the Internet but what they do, they convert the email message to an image and store them on their servers Now, they send a message enclosing the image inline with it. After getting a hit on that image (which means the message was being opened), they break the image and inline image links! Boom!
IMO, it is not like what a self-proclaimed email should be. However, in my case, I must take care of the following points:
- I have to do this for the text, no image, nothing else.
- I believe that the systems used in the entire process will be UNIX based (I do not know how this is going to make a difference).
- There are some hints about the use of different network layers in solving the problem.
