There is no such "person" under a role object.
Sure, you can send an email "I kill you all there at this company", but ...

Exactly.
Now you can hide some more personal information.

Understand.
What about admin fearing a higher workload, simply send
an email back with a ticket number, when the incoming mail
isnt in ARF ? Or direct people with this returning mail
to a webform where the user only can enter certain things ..

Its the admins choice ...

Its my personal opinion that admins are fixing there
security holes when the complain about the work load.
The will get less complains, if they do.


Kind regards, Frank
