Problem is, once you send it out to the group, doesn't it put the 
individual names into the To: field?  Therefore the reply to all goes to 
them and not the group.  For example if I create a group with Billie Joe 
and Bobbie Sue in it called TakeTheMoneyAndRun and send it to that group 
the people who receive that email will not see TakeTheMoneyAndRun in the 
To:.  They'll see Billie Joe and Bobby Sue in there.  So if a recipient 
does a reply to all, what authority they have to the group is irrelevant.

Yes, we do secure the heck out of some groups to avoid people shooting out 
email to everyone.  Happened after firing the entire office staff at one 
location for some inappropriate email.  The way we named our "all" group 
put it at the top of the addresses shown when sending an email.  We also 
created a dummy group beginning with a zero that only goes to our BOFH so 
she can enjoy their screw ups.
