Umm.. at the expense of asking what sounds like a dumb question,
how do you "guarantee" the physical mailroom?  I've worked at 2
different universities, and at both, there's always been a good
amount of lossage caused by off-campus students who move and don't
tell all the offices on campus.  It wasn't *that* bad at Clarkson,
since there were only about 3,000 students, but here at Virginia
Tech with 25K students it's a zoo. ;)

You might be able to at least slow them down with "Validate=all".
Barring that, you might need to write an exit to do command filtering.
