Estranged father's email used from unwanted family members

My child's father and I have been separated for a few years now. We were never married but he is on our child's birth certificate. Father's sister is in control of his emails which access childs information. This is not wanted by myself or child. Does anyone else have similar issue or know if anything can be done to stop this?
Many thanks

Are you saying that father has certain rights and has given out his email address in the past which is used by school etc for communication? And why would his sister be in control of his emails?

His name is on our child's birth certificate which gives him the right to receive communication from the school. Even though they are emailed to him, his sister has control of his emails with his permission. She is extremely controlling and narcissistic. My child has told him that they are not happy or comfortable with her having access but he dismisses her concerns. Because the emails are in his name (being her father) I wanted to know how to resolve the issue.
