I think what should happen to ensure this level of integrity would be that
moderators should connect to an account on the James instance managing the
doco mail, in which case it means your client has to support ssl. Otherwise
you're at the mercy of the ability of intermediate hops to preserve your
security, and it becomes worthless again.
An other suggestion might be to require moderators to sign and encrypt
their messages with PGP. I know thats it's possible for James to cope with
this, but AFAIK noone has shared any code with us.
