Or not, note that just becase example.com is a CNAME for example.net
does not mean that [email protected] is the same *mailbox* (email
recipient) as [email protected]. Nothing in SMTP makes it so, and
some people in fact use multiple domains hosted at the same target
as independent namespaces. So from that perspective, hashing the
domain actually better matches SMTP semantics. It avoids conflating
addresses that are cannot be presumed to be equivalent.
