  • The email is only stored locally and never used in federation.
    So that’s local admins only, and even then, only if you have access to the database itself.
    Right now, that would be TheDude and me.

    Emails aren’t very useful to us admins.
    Sure, spammers tend to use junk emails, but (some) legit users also do, so it’s a bit moot to start looking at addresses en masse.
    Basically the only time I even see any email address is if they have trouble with the initial verification email.
    The email is very useful to allow users to reset their password, but that’s an automated process, and not something we’d look at.

    Peace
