"6.) It is not possible to create a program alias via WebMail. This should
be changed."

I, for one, am glad this isn't available in Webmail.  Seems like it could be
a giant security risk to allow creation of executable code on our server.
Even if it is locked down to admin, I don't know how secure Imail's
homegrown web server is.  I don't know how hard it would be to exploit it
and gain admin privileges.

I can immediately imagine several kinds of programs that could be put into a
program alias that would severely compromise our systems.  In addition to
all the malicious code that could be put up, imagine if a spammer gained
enough privileges to set up a program alias (through whatever means).  He
then uploads a program that will accept an email and blast that email out
via SMTP to his whole list, completely bypassing Imail's SMTP engine, and
any controls you may have on it to prevent relaying spam.

But maybe I'm just being paranoid.  Anyone else see this as a security risk?
