I can see where you'd say that but I'm not sure that is exactly the case
here.

You could consider this list I'm talking about to be a tool that I want
customers to use. Over several years, we have managed to create a
sufficient amount of publicity and momentum in the use of this list/tool
for sending info into my organization. I worry that if we tell customers to
use a new email list to reach us, some folks just won't ever learn about
the new email address (or they will learn of it slowly) and we will
compromise some of our internal branding that is based on this list.

I agree that having two separate email addresses/lists for the two separate
functions is ideal. But there's a cost (to me, not really to the customer)
for that transition and I'm not convinced it is the right thing to do in
this case. So I'm exploring my options.
