Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue examples and the linked HackerOne report 1169683 to understand the closely matching email-address cases. Then inspect the lookup-server entry points that handle remote-user matching. The issue does not define the desired distinction or acceptance criteria, so the work is not done until that behavior is agreed.
