I have to agree. You're trying to solve a problem that can't be solved with technology, it can only be solved with parenting.
It's not possible to completely prevent contact, true. However, making a reasonable attempt to supervise the child's communication with her birth parents does at least comply with the order given.
I guess a big question in the actual implementation is how willing is the child to comply with the order? If the child is dead-set on subverting it, the best you can hope for is to "check the box"
Getting back to the technical side.. what about setting up a closed mailing list with the child as the only subscriber. Make it moderated, but designate whitelisted addresses as approved posters, and you can be the owner/moderator of the list. (I can't recall offhand if any of the opensource mailing list managers offer this sort of configuration these days, also.)
Have her "published" email go to the list, and then it forwards stuff to the "real" account.
Would that work? Christopher Manly [email protected]
