Email only, eh? I used to send messages to my boss via webform...I
suppose that would imply that it's possible to have a message sent by
some scripts to a website, unless there's captchas or something like
that to defeat that method.
But like I said...most people would already have whitelisted vitally
important domains, or you could send periodic "keepalives" to test
the system.
