Comment (by bethannon1):

 I get emails like this at least once a month. Sometimes the site was taken
 over & moved before I had a chance to change the admin email.

 I see why initiating a change might be problematic. I think we could have
 a link in admin notices to report a no longer current admin email that
 would

 1)trigger an email to ALL current Administrator level users that admin
 notification emails are going to someone who believes that they should not
 be receiving them, reinforces the importance of a current site admin
 email, and

 2) on the next login of all admin users, have a special “admin email
 check” splash or an additional special message on the regular splash that
 repeats the message that the current admin email has been reported as not
 current and they should update.

 Yes, there are the regular prompts about “is this site admin email
 current”, but some of the sites that I get admin notifications for are not
 being logged into very frequently at all, AND when someone is logging in
 they are focused on accomplishing a specific task, and they are more
 likely to simply click through and perhaps not understand the consequences
 of affirming an out of date site admin email.
