Which is why normal users will use a program to do it, and not just

If you mean telling wanadoo users that
o wanadoo and orange in an e-mail address are synonymous
o users they can carry on using their wanadoo e-mail addresses
o users can use an orange version as well
and then randomly bouncing wanadoo addresses with cryptic messages saying the
user, who naively carried on using his old address doesn't exist, then the
answer is probably yes.
