   @kaffando Did they make it up or did the chatbot they copy&pasted from synthesize it as a plausible sounding address?

     So, website upgrade happening at work. Off line for a few hours today for maintenance. A link to an email was provided on the site. Thought I should just test the email to make sure it worked.

     The address the emails would be sent to wasn't one of ours.

     The web people just made one up.

     Didn't ask us for an email address.
     Didn't tell us they were going to do that.

     Just...you know...made one up.
