This is a bad idea, though presumably you're not in a country with any
data protection laws[0]. The reader of this mailbox runs the risk of having
to deal with extremely personal data that they have no business knowing,
due to a simple typo. I'd also contend that it goes against "reliable"
mail delivery, though I suppose if this box does get read by a human,
that's OK.

[0] Australia not being one of these countries...
