I missed the "session" before the "password" and thought you were still
talking about packet passwords. Now I get it.

I wonder why we still use packet passwords. Why not create a inbound filebox
for every node/point that calls and rely on the session password? Is there any
(open source) mailer or tosser that support inbound fileboxes?
