a safe inhouse? Such a thing doesn't exist.

do you copy data around? maybe personal data of other people (moving mailboxes 
or other things)? It's easy to capture that and sniff a little bit...

there's no point using insecure software to maintain a network, or acounts, or 
personal data (even most often the data surely is boring :-)
