Why should I trust anyone with my users email address books ?

And I would have to deal with the extra spam that will be generated.... 

The only reason I even cared to ask was a part of my user population
Had been pestering me for this but and no one has install privs on their
machine... So before I ban it completely I wanted second opnions
