You Are A Hacker Magnet!!!

Okay Resellers-

I have been wrestling with this for about a week now, and maybe, just maybe, there is a flaw in my thought process. It seems to me that most resellers, while using SSH to secure the usernames/passwords for logins, are using cleartext authentication for FTP and Email. Even Qmail, which djb is claiming to be the be-all and end-all of email security, authenticates in cleartext by default- as far as I can tell. Am I just being paranoid, or is there really this huge whopping security whole in 90%+ of reseller's servers? Is it important to secure this via SSL? If not, why? What am I missing here?
