[s-b] Consultation

[Ed Murphy <emurphy42@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question:  Is an e-mail address described to a person by specifying
domain and MD5 checksum, but not account name (e.g. describing
cabal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as "the address at jaycampbell.com with MD5
checksum 4dcd83b0338eaee8e8f8196f34095d18"), reasonably accessible
to that person (as required of Emergency Fora by Rule 5E0)?

There are multiple members of the Super Sekrit Forum Cabal, so I won't
bother naming an unbeliever.

Questioner's arguments:

While such an address is generally accessible in the sense that it
accepts messages sent to it, it is not /reasonably/ accessible to the
person in question, because the effective requirement for that person
to send a message to it (i.e. computing the correct address) would
require unreasonably difficult effort.  Contrast easily-reversed
encodings such as base64.
