Re: administrator permissions mail server

If you're worried about this, you need to look into end-to-endencryption. 
S/MIME can be implemented fairly easily (or OpenPGP if youhave the patience to 
exchange keys with the people you want to talkto).
If you don't know what either of the above are, you'll either (1) failto 
implement it correctly and your admins will still be able to readyour mail, or 
you'll (2) clue your admins into the fact that you don'ttrust them because 
you'll have to hire a consultant who'll end uphaving to talk to your admins 
anyway.
Even if you totally trust your admins, you should be aware that emailis inherently 
insecure. You shouldn't be sending sensitive informationover email... period. Send an 
email saying "I have sensitiveinformation for you" at most. Then give access to 
that information insome other manner.
