[LUG] Apache: only serve documents a day or more old?



Anyone clever with Apache here?
Strip incoming email attachments into a named directory - one for the whole 
network.

Deliver them to users via the intranet webserver - IE the directory from 
which attachments are served is one that the webserver will present.

24 hours is enough for the anti-virus companies to have identified and 
produced a fix for a virus released yesterday (but substitute 1 hour 4 hours 
8 hours 1 week or whatever you like)

Now, using a daemon to copy/mv each incoming file from the ultra-quarantine 
zone into the webserver's directory after 24h is reasonable enough, but can 
one configure Apache to do this from a single directory, presenting a custom 
message (defined in the .htaccess file) until 24 h is up, and then agreeing 
to deliver?

It would also be useful to run the file through word2x or similar and present 
that, and perhaps the pragmatic approach is to say 
age < 24h   -> ASCII
age =<24h  -> deliver file
