The same way you handle written correspondence.  Lots of old ladies
in bee-hive hairdos  answering the mail.

I would suggest multiple points of contact.   rather then

[email protected]   or [email protected].

have topic based mail receptors.

[email protected]  or
[email protected]
[email protected].
[email protected].......

Then  people can be tasked to read mail, based upon the area of
expertise.  also, key subject extraction programs could be run,
and
the users could be mailed  response letters, based upon the primary
areas of interest.

Well, there would probably be a little more flaming then before.
Could you imagine some of the correspondence?  Besides, one would
need
some form of digital authentication mechanism.   Let's not have
more
bogus mail....
