This can be solved rather easily by assigning the default root account a
complex password at domain creation, right?

Subject: [IMail Forum] Using Root as mean of spamming

We've just encountered something that in all truthfulness we should have
caught before now. Spammers found out that [EMAIL PROTECTED] in imail has
a very unsecured default password. My question is even though the
accounts are disabled from being accessed, how is it possible to
authenticate and send spam using this account?

Thanks
Mark
