Where is the wiki getting the email address?  How is it stored?

I have about oh -- a bizillion email addresses -- that's why people  
get private emails from me at Eclectic Tech, my business address --  
then the LIST gets one from crisses at kinhost.org, because I have to re- 
send to the list when I flake what address I'm sending from...

So telling the wiki one email address for me isn't going to float and  
I don't really feel like giving a wiki every email I might use to  
send an email to be posted.

It is possible to store, authenticate against, and grab a username  
from a stored email->username list somewhere, but it's also making  
the recipe more complex to set up, and putting information on the  
wiki that I'm not sure we want to.
