verification and encryption would not solve his problem. His group has a
'user' problem. The troublesome user was given full access to another user's

The low-tech solution worked in this case.  We just had the suspected victim
of the walk-in change his email password and the problem has not recurred.
The bad-actor did write at least one other suspect email, from her father's
account.  But by the time that one occurred, we are already alert and
recognized it immediately.  The damage was painful but limited.
