An email address cannot be copyrighted, due to being a single word or other
short text.

You can try to trademark it, but... you'd probably lose.  Since you would
have to go after everyone who ever sent you email, and anyone who ever
distributed a posting by you, and everyone you ever sent email to, to tell
them that it is a trademark, and to enforce that trademark.
