Comment (by siliconforks):

 Replying to [comment:5 SirLouen]:
 > `wordpress@` as a forwarder is just a matter of randomness selection. It
 could have been `info`, `webmaster` or whatever, there is no standard for
 this, so looks fair to choose the same name as the service for this
 purpose.

 Actually, there is an RFC for that:
 [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2142 RFC 2142].  Both `info@`
 and `webmaster@` are mentioned as well-known mailbox names, while
 `wordpress@` obviously is not.

 (I wouldn't recommend changing it now, though, after it's been using
 `wordpress@` as the default for two decades.)
