This judge must have no real understanding of how e-mail works. This suggests that if there were a separate server to collect the re-routed e-mail, this would constitue a wire tap. So, "Attention all criminals: use only one machine and you in the clear!" How silly!

One thing that this does reinforce: e-mail encryption.
