Some file on the server in a fixed (preset) location?
Yes. The location and name of the file could be preset, but I suppose if you wanted to try to get fancy you could have the name and path entered into the browser admin interface; however, I don't see the need for that complexity. To me, the only real objection to this idea is that the blacklist file might not be easily updated. Without browser input of the blacklist, one must resort to mounting an appletalk volume. What if the owner of the SIMS box disallows appletalk access or TCP/IP access to the disks? What if someone can only administer a remote SIMS box from a Windows machine? Maybe there are other scenarios I've not thought of. The postmaster normally has control and access to SIMS. And, we normally assume that the postmaster has full control and access to his/her SIMS -box-, but maybe this is not always true?
