Did that convention already exist 20 years ago?

  This guy deletes emails that are sent to this address that are not for him. For 20 years. For all we know he started this convention!

  Probably not, or if it did, it was to a lesser extent. That's why I said it was bad luck for the customer that the vanity email he has chosen, happened to become associated with service notifications.

  RFC 2142 gives a nice snapshot of "standard" email address conventions as of almost exactly 20 years ago. There's no real need for a "noreply" address to be standardized or conventional, though. Nobody except someone at that particular domain should be introducing noreply@ addresses into the email system (and hopefully only as reply-to addresses).
