   It could be like BSO for inbound. You just need a good specification for the   
   format.   
   E.g. Node 7:8/9 calls and received files are put into   
      
   inbound/othernet.7.8.9.0/trusted/   
      
   or if there is no session password into   
      
   inbound/othernet.7.8.9.0/unknown/   
      
   No need to specifiy an inbox for every node and point in the mailer's config.

   I still don't understand how that helps. What exactly do you have in mind?   
      
   The problem is the interface between mailer and tosser. Everyone with a   
   session password can drop anything in my shared "secure" inbound. So now we   
   need a packet password, because the information about the session is thrown   
   out the window and isn't communicated to the tosser. We wouldn't need a packet   
   password, if the tosser did know that the packet was delivered in an   
   authenticated session with node 7:8/9.
