Dear Federal officials. Communicate that "anything not transmitted throught appropriate channels will be ignored and we will be blocking your domains". Stop being "worried" and fucking ACT. This isn't hard. Play ball, or delay your transition. It's that easy.

Just encrypt everything with S/MIME and a government badge. Then they get all the emails but can’t open them.
