Hmmmm.... You're raising a problem which is similar to the problem of management of user 
preferences on a border smtp gateway. This isn't a problem at, say, gmail or mailbox 
providers as most of the time users have only one email address.

But talking about universities, or look alike organisations...

Myself, I have many **non shared** identities : only to cite two, the one you can see in 
this message and my login.

But also I have many **shared** identities. These identities correspond to email addresses 
  (administrative or not) which resolve to many people. I can hardly see some kind of 
management of *shared consent* for these addresses.
