Email is inherently unreliable communication, you should never base the
security
of your organization on it.

Before someone else corrects me, let me do it myself :)

Of course, since we (TINW) do base a lot of our organization on email being
readily available it all turns out to be yet another element of risk analysis.
Email is sufficiently reliable for us to trust it, despite that most people fail
to question the authenticity of systemcritical notifications.
