Another thought: it could be considered legitimate for a bank to
expect that the email address you list with them is a direct email
address. Certainly you change your snail mail address with them when
you move.
I have several email addresses out there. One of those is a
forward. It needs to have the domain name of the company for ease of
use for the clients. Mail from that account never gets stored on
their servers. It goes to my servers for my own domain. This is
important. Some people can't handle sending email to someone with an
address like a765400-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] without
having a brain meltdown. That funky address is my "real" address
which gets forwarded from [EMAIL PROTECTED] This form
of branding is important for marketing the business.
This also applies to my previous working situation. I was a
contractor to NIH. I had an email address at NIH, one with the
company I worked for, and my home address. Since I almost never had
contact with the company I worked for, all the email I got from them
came to my home address. It would be silly for everyone at the
company to have to remember my home address. They could just email
me using the company standard of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
it would go to me. If someone at NIH, also with my company wanted to
email me, but didn't know my NIH address, they could send from their
NIH address, to my company address, and it would show up at home.
This actually happened quite often. It also would break SPF.
