This is hardly the same thing. E-mail addresses are public, credit card
numbers aren't. Email addresses can be gotten by brute-force checking fairly
easily without even cracking the machine. card numbers can't.
What would your auditor think about your secondary MX being used as a DOS
amplifier because it sends out thousands of bogus bounces to forged
addresses ?
