Any email address whether it shows the name of the person concerned or not
is like to be personal data. If is personal data if you know the person it
belongs to or if you may come accross information that identifies that person
and so on (generic email addresses my be seen as non personal data, eg.
[log in to unmask]
Privacy and E-comms guidance is wrong :-)
