You cannot satisfy the above requirement without eCAP or ICAP. Amos
probably assumed that your adapter does not care about the message body,
but that assumption is incorrect in your environment.

Lots of eCAP adapters and ICAP services do not modify message content.
In this context, the unfortunate standard "content adaptation" term
should be interpreted broadly to include content analysis. Content
analysis is one of the primary use cases for eCAP adapters and ICAP
services.
