meh, the last thing you'd expect was this sort of issue to stem out of your email program, but hey, computer programs aren't perfect, all they have to work with is "on" and "off" so they're doing a damn good job so far.
As for the password, well, it was just a forum. I mean, who cares. "OMGZ0R I CARCKED GAEBS PASSWARD AT HL2Fallout.com" - "yay".
Though, theoretically that could have been a smart idea, since most people know never to use their real names / phone numbers / addresses in passwords, people trying to crack it would've assumed the head guy at VALVe would've had higher password standards and not bothered :p
I kinda see your point there, but you've gotta give 'em a break. In the end they're a bunch of gamers who are living out their dreams of making 'awesome' computer games, it wouldn't be fun if there weren't problems to solve =)

Think about it this way. They are creating one the most highly anticipated and wanted games in history but they connect the computer developing it to the internet. I'd of had the room on lock down, no disks leave the room unless previously authorized and no disks enter. If you want to use the internet you must use a seperate set of computers that are not connected to the computers used for development of the game. And of all things gabes forum password was his damn name, you'd think they would have changed all passwords the second the leak occurred. And now this non-steam crap that works with source.
