Actually - I was thinking that you would pass the task of spooling and
serving the files to the senders nearest permenant server (their ISP for
example). The ISP would be configured to accept files only from its
users, and would implement quota support, etc, etc. The server would
be available at all times (excepting failures) thus no co-ordination would
be required.
Basically, the system would be a bit like having a ftp server - but with
more security and no knowlege of the lusers.
