Maybe someone should mark this date on the wall... but I do have to come to 
Marc's defense on that point.

;-)

He *did* specify that [his routers require] the folder must already exist - 
i.e. 
had been manually created in advance.

So NO - new arrivals would NOT create a folder, and even the standard 'require 
verify = recipient' *might* also reject on-existent ones. Otherwise queue and 
not deliver. (see below).

The idea is not new or original, (been used by others for years in multi-user 
environments), but his way of symlinking et al, might be.

W/R pass/fail on verifying the recipient ... that depends on parts we have not 
been shown, i.e. entire router chain AND/OR other means of vetting (DB, flat 
file, etc.) not having a 'leak' at any point.
