Hey Hey,

To have a mail server in China you now need a license... In order to obtain that you need to meet certain criteria... Mail must be stored for 2 months, vague subject lines like "Information security" or "network security" have to be dropped... You can read it all @ http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...utlaws-outlook

China has introduced regulations that make it illegal to run an email server without a licence. The new rules, which came into force two weeks ago, mean that most companies running their own email servers in China are now breaking the law.

China's new rules also prohibit use of email to discuss certain vaguely defined subjects related to 'network security' and ' information security', and also reiterate that emails which contain content contrary to existing laws must not be copied or forwarded. Wide-ranging laws of this nature have been used against political and religous dissenters in the past.
Peace,
