    My work does first initial last name, which even internally results in tons of jsmith2@company.com.

    I don’t really get why I can’t just choose from a list of accepted combinations or something.

      This is just supposition but I presume the resmasoning is they want to programatically “calculate” your email address.

      I mean that’s a dumb constraint but it does explain the requirement.
