I'm all for this, too, if there's a clear directive and support for this infrastructure. 
Giving out an e-mail address is a great badge of honor, but even uses that are 
"routine" like sending out a large attachment to many people, can end up 
affecting all Mozilla e-mail. Are we backing up community members' emails too? If so, 
that's more resources and time spent by IT; if not, and there's a problem, we end up with 
a lot of unhappy Mozillians.
Sure.  FYI, I’m thinking of the kinds of systems that e.g. US universities 
employ for alums.  This stuff could easily be outsourced.
Note that @mozilla.org addresses are currently email aliases <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_alias>, which means Mozilla transfers mail to and from them but doesn't store the mail. That still costs resources and time, but much less than if it were to also store the mail, as it does for @mozilla.com addresses.
