that you take advantage of this extra protection.
If you choose to administer an IMAPI password, we recommend that you change
it on a regular basis, for example, monthly. (If you have set your administrator’s
password to age automatically, the system prompts you to change your
password. You can use this prompt to remind you to change the IMAPI password

In addition to trusted server security, there is the possibility that an administered
e-mail or remote AMIS Analog user could use an ELA mailbox in an unauthorized
manner. One example is to send “mail bombs” to an Enhanced List. Mail bombs
are harassing messages that do not serve your business needs, and impose
unnecessary traffic on your system. ELA mailboxes are no more vulnerable to
unauthorized use than other voice mailboxes. However, the impact on system
performance can be many times greater than the potential for harassment when
sending messages to an individual mailbox. Sending to an enhanced list that
forwards a message to 1500 recipients will obviously have much farther reaching
consequences than that of a handful of messages sent to individual mailboxes.

To prevent unauthorized access to an ELA mailbox from an external source such
as e-mail users or remote AMIS Analog users, you can place those users in a
community with sending restrictions. See:
