How many servers does it go through? Mail in the real world, today, is virtually always source server -> destination MX server. There was once a fanciful era when occasionally offline servers passed off to various smarthosts, and this was the big fear about email, but that is no longer the case. HN passwords are not high security. If we lose an HN account, not only can it be easily restored by an admin, it's really not a huge loss - start again. There doesn't need to be extreme practices. Oh, you use the same password across sites? (which is the source of 99% of password security concerns). That is crazy, and you shouldn't do that. That's on you.
