Douglas, It looks like you've never had the chance to check what is going on behind the scenes part, namely, technical details. This is a Privilege elevation, which allows the unprivileged "internal" user to take the complete control over the system. Where firewalls' only weak point, where you should consider some internal security. To give you a clearer idea, we've 6 Imail administrators currently adding accounts, deleting and making some modifications on Imail. They've been priviliged "only" for Imail administration. That gives you 6 people to be suspicious about. If you get hacked, it's too late even for a recovery because there is no time to cry over spilled milk in the world of network security.
