Look at the Linux package sendfile and the preliminary draft of the RFC
for the saft profocol.
The way it works is this:
I send a file to username@somewhere.dom
That machine collects the file and puts it in a configurable "holding
area". Then the recipient is notified that a file is waiting for them and
they can choose to accept or reject the file. If it is rejected, it is
deleted. If accepted, it is placed in the user's directory.
