I find your behavior with the board passwords [sic] absolut stupid.
First you force me to create a safe password and then you send it CLEAR TEXT by EMAIL to me!? Absolut brilliant!
Actually, it is safer to send it via e-mail than it is over plain HTTP.
Fact is if your mail server is competent in the least it will support TLS. When the wz2100.net MTA opens a connection to your MTA it will see that it supports TLS and
use it. As a result the message is encrypted.
Next, if your IMAP/POP3 server and mail client is competent in the least SSL will be used to transfer/copy the message to your computer.
Now, that seems quite secure to me. (Unless you can not trust the location where your mail is kept/stored, in which case you've got bigger problems.)
Furthermore, the password reset functionality also makes use of e-mail. It generates a code in the form of a link which is then e-mailed to you.
It is only insecure if others have access to your e-mails, again, in which case you've got bigger problems.
