As long as we don't miss the release of AOS4, I don't think anyone really cares :-)
Except for the ones using the e-mail forwarding (but hey, it's free).

Some people shouldn't be too quick to say "ban".
Free speach, HD crashes, etc.

There are potential legal issues with reading other peoples e-mail or parts (like attachement).

I should have been more specific.

In some countries you can get many years in prison for breaking mail confidentiality. Some countries have / are in the process of extending such laws to include e-mail (among other things, to enable e-trading).

Because of the jail time involved it also means that one can be extradited (spell?) for it. Slim chance, but people should be aware of it. I don't know the specifics of American law, but in many countries there's a threshold coupled to offence giving a certain number of years to enable extradition.

This all got to do with the fact that a mailservice like Amiga.Org's essentially can intercept other countries mail.
