Well, worry a little.  It's cleartext, so unless you're using a VPN/
encrypted channels/intranet-only you have to be aware that it can be
sniffed off the 'net.  Also, if you bypass the list for some
recipients (eg, a wide reply), they'll get it.  And of course
passwords are relatively weak security if they're mnemonic.

If security means "against spam/viruses", likely you don't need to be
so paranoid.
