I've studied the statistics since we added the tracking of the submission method. The webform is clearly the preferred submission method, but we have still had ~700 circulars submitted via legacy email in the last ~1 year from 44 users. More than half are from a single user, and the majority are from ~11 users. Next step is to reach out these users and request that they either use the web form or the new email address.
