The government can easily subvert the automated system (i.e. if you make legal@somedomain.com -> public record, they email your personal yahoo/gmail account which is not automatically posted).

OpSec notwithstanding. If the government doesn't know your other email addresses, this obviously doesn't apply.

If everything that comes to every one of your inboxes is immediately laid bare for the world to see, they cannot circumvent the process and also cannot prove that you knowingly and intentionally violated the gag order. I don't know anyone who does this, however.
