A Tory MP asked for his email address to be removed from the website 38 degrees. He said that he was being sent a lot of "cloned" emails.
38 degress is a campaign grroup that encourages the public to send messages to their local MPs to help resolve problems. A postform is used where messages are sent to the MPs email without showing the address it was sent from.
Dominic Raab explains that while he tries to respond to as many emails as possible in a resonable time his time is finite. He says that he is being sent a lot of identical emails. These duplicate emails make it hard for him to prioritize and find the most important emails that he needs to respond to.
38 degrees has refused to take his email address down because they say it is in the public domain.
