As in my other comment, I don’t understand why they don’t use deleted_user@our-company.com? It doesn’t take an IT-specialist to see the dangers in using a domain they don’t control.
But I guess that’s the point of this article: the jaw-dropping stupidity.
Most people who aren’t interested in tech have to be taught this as they have no idea what e-mail actually is.
I would have accepted this 20 years ago, but not anymore. People need to have a basic understanding of how the tools they use daily work. I know, they don’t. And it’s one of my pet conspiracy theories that Big Tech abstracts their users away from how things actually work on purpose. The results are devastating, esp. when it comes to where IT tech crosses politics.
Also general education is commonly lagging at least a decade after current tech. I know email has been around for longer than that, but IT education is in a sad state.

I worked in a company where we had to write addresses like that 10-30 times a day.
Someone once used fucking gmail and all hell broke loose.

That certainly is part of the problem.
