All of the computers? Does that include EVERY machine on teh same subnet between
your mail server and you??? TCP/IP packets don't just go from A to B... They
travel through every network card on the network, so that machine can decide if
it is for it or not... VERY easy to packet snif e-mail messages, with the right
tools...

Just because you have access, or even the only access, to point a and b doesn't
mean 250 other people can't read the exact same piece of mail...
