"The prime minister will not read each one - or reply to any - but officials will screen out the abusive, submit the most pertinent, and compile regular reports on the contents of the rest."

Nope, looks like a no-go.

You know, now, that the presidential email address is no longer available? You have to fill out a form with all your contact info before you submit your email, and the President will probably never read it.

Is anyone expecting heads of state to read the emails sent to them using addresses like this?

I've heard that they're quite busy people...

Now that many Western companies block all Chinese email traffic by default, and an increasing proportion of the spam seems to be targeting the Chinese themselves, the Chinese Internet Association decided to crack down on spammers.

Yeah, but at least before they didn't want your mother's maiden name and your Social Security Number to just dash off a line to the President's interns...
