The WinLink seems to how some filters and the email addresses are not for general circulation. I am sure people understand it. The idea is to use HAM radio for emergency. This is nobody's intention to replace commercial services.

Tom,
Please be careful sending amateur messages to non hams.? That by passes commercial business and I believe that is against regulations.? The same is true for WinLink or all that can pass internet traffic to hams and if the traffic is of a non Amateur Radio? content I???believe it is against FCC regulations and of course we don't know the content of internet messages until they are sent to us?and if not filtered?non Amateur Radio communications can be transmitted to you which is against FCC regulations.
The automatic elay?point is also responsible for not allowing non Amateur Radio communications to be transmitted.? I sent in a NPRM (Notice of Proposed? Rule Making) to the FCC a couple of years ago to make the sender responsible? and not the automatic relay station but they didn't? accept my idea. HI .
Please get others opinions on my comments but I?believe that is correct and thanks much for asking.
