What is stopping my employer from sending a termination letter from my mail ID?

I recently read a post here that if push comes to shove, you might need to show the proof that you got fired and didn’t quit. So the company that I’m currently employed by, has its own mail server and domain. In our initial days, we were able to send mails from any mail id (within the domain) to any other person just by using Python. Somehow the access to the server was open. We didn’t try much, just fun and games within us. After a few days, tried again, but by then the server access seemed to be closed. Anyway, the main question is that someone does have access to that server. What if they type in a resignation letter from my mail address and send it to my manager, fire me, and then deny any severance?
