You can send email to that character string if you configure the MX.
It was designed specifically to accomodate that.

I objected at the time: I thought it was a stupid feature, that no sensible 
IKEv2 daemon
was going to have to send/receive email.

But, Toerless was paranoid that if we did anything at all out of the
ordinary, that the corporate CA people, in order to protect their fiefdom,
would freak out and throw some huge roadblock in the way of deploying the ACP.

And, now have an ACME method past WGLC that does certificate validation by
SMTP.
