  13. If the SEND-to-self quota loophole is a problem, I think the most effective
  14. counter-measure against this abuse is to protect SENDFILE.EXE with an ACL
  15. such as (IDENTIFIER=NOSENDFILE,ACCESS=NONE) rather than deleting files in
  16. the JAN_RECEIVE area. That's crude, but as the abusers understand the rules
  17. very quickly, you don't have to grant the id NOSENDFILE frequently.
