Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for electronic mail systems and service in computing environments are provided herein. In one example, an email service is provided that receives receive requests for endpoint information that correspond to email identities included in the requests. For ones of the requests that indicate invalid email identities, the email service determines responses that conceal validity of the invalid email identities by deriving target endpoint information based at least on the invalid email identities, and provides the responses that indicate the target endpoint information.
