| Jan 9, 2016 at 22:35 | comment | added | ave | @E.P. auto redirect != reply with private mail. | |
| Jan 9, 2016 at 22:28 | comment | added | E.P. | @ardaozkal In other words, give away the user's private email address to anyone who asks? | |
| Jan 9, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | ave | What about something like, redirect-only with autoreply? So when someone sends a mail to [email protected] etc, it gets redirected to my mail, and the sender of the mail gets a mail saying that the mail was delivered to me and states that I'm not a SE staff member. | |

@Hamlet They are unknown in the sense that they can be whoever they wish and communicate with anybody using their stackexchange mail. You wouldn't expect, when communicating with someone whose address is [email protected] that he's not a staff and StackOverflow. At least I would not. Whenever I communicate with someone with that address, I know it's an SE staff member; I don't have to check each time. I would like this to stay true.

| Jan 8, 2016 at 14:52 | comment | added | yo' | No. You don't want unknown people to have an SE.com mail, do you? Also, you can have a zillion users with the same display name, and also you can change your display name at any time. | |

@JonEricson two alternative ideas. (1) I know that many colleges give alumni email addresses that end in @alumni.harvard.edu, maybe Stack Exchange could use something like @contributor.stackexchange.com? Or, since Stack Exchange has been renamed to Stack Overflow, maybe the employee emails should end in @stackoverflow.com while users could get the @stackexchange.com email addresses.

It's still active and I'm reading answers as they come in. Unfortunately, we have limited bandwidth for this particular project right at the moment. I really like this particular idea. The primary concern raised internally was that [email protected] is the format of our employee email addresses, which might be confusing or deceptive. I had not thought about tying the email to particular sites, but that has promise. It would also be particularly straightforward to implement as a redirect. (Though I do recall some technical concerns. Hmmmm...)
