Email in Iran: Unsafe

From an anonymous reader

TO ALL INSIDE IRAN USING EMAIL FOR COMMUNICATIONS, THIS IS A SERIOUS WARNING! I want to inform you about a harsh email checkout system that is going to be held over all the Iranian ISPs (Internet Service Providers) within the next few days, especially those ones using balanced SEND/RECEIVE bands.

In other words the government is about to check the contents of emails sent out from inside the country. Thus, please avoid sending any suspicious emails and attachments especially those containing political matters.

I've received this warning from a credible source. There is no doubt about the plan to restrict the Internet by focusing on the SENDING lines of Iranian ISPs. Please keep your friends and relatives aware of this matter.

Minister Charles Simpson has the power to make you a LEGALLY ORDAINED MINISTER within 48 hours!!!!
