I have tried to enter a "wildcard email" when gpg asked me for the email 
address during key generation. I tried "example.com", "@example.com" and 
"*@example.com", but all of them were rejected with 'Not a valid email 
address'. Is there a special syntax I should use?

I think the point you just made is the relevant one: Even if I would be able to 
create a key with a "wildcard email" associated with it, would the email client 
plugins, such as Enigmail, be able to deal with it? I guess that's a question 
for the Enigmail developers, once I figure out how to generate a key with a 
wildcard email via gpg.

Thank you!
