The only completely 100% safe and clean solution would be to disallow the
posting of DAT files via NNTP (newsreader) or SMTP (e-mail) and only to
accept them via HTTP (web-page upload).

I hope you will never disallow posting DAT content via NNTP.  I just
hate using a web interface, as the newsreader is much easier to use.

I would just recommend always posting DAT files via the web interface. (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
