well i trust in persons who know what they are doin but i dont ignore the fact that potential risks can be avoided. since i wont post here detailed examples how sumone could compromise valve by faked identities i gonna end this here. but since even admins are human beings and these are known for makin mistakes my experience have teached me the past 15 years to avoid potential risks instead of ignoring them...
however, have a nice day

dude.. it's a gameadmin mail list... and since we all know attachments are not allowed here and valve employees are not know to post drivel (they reserve that for shipping dates) I dont even know why were discussing it, but I digress.

because a more experienced "person" could imitate a header too... pgp is not hard to handle, there are tons of tools which have a pretty good usability and also such a "system" would add a way to verify the sender. another way would be to add SPF records to the valvesoftware.com zone and enable SPF checking on the mailinglist server... ;)
there are several easy to administrate ways to avoid those "trouble" mails. sure, there is no discussion that "normal" ppl are not affected since we can read and investigate but this is more work than usin a secure system generally... ;)
