Disable Replying to RFI and Adding Attachments from an Email - Spam and viruses hitting TEAM

Currently if anyone in Team is assigned to an RFI and their email gets compromised, an email can be replied to, attachments added thus infecting Team.  Because there is no authentication happening, this opens up all our projects and adding risk to all of our team contacts.  These emails no only add comments and infected attachments into Team, but because of the integration notifications, ALL users assigned to that RFI are being sent the comment and some have already infected their computers and accounts by opening the infected attachment.

Since we cannot control the Team Contact's Email Accounts' vulnerabilities to spam, viruses and malware, we must disable to feature of replying to an RFI UNLESS that then prompts the user to enter their Team User ID and password.  

This is a huge security breach and we've been infected and is beyond our control.

    3 years later and we still have this issue with RFIs showing odd comments or Out Of Office replies. PLEASE can customers have this feature removed?
