We had an "airtight" mailprogram for V6, and it was bashed at for years by many fine students.

The new mail system we use (MMDF), does the delivery into the user's mailbox running as that user (yes, it does cost a process, but what price protection?), and hence there is no chance for trouble (in mail DELIVERY, anyways).
