That would be great, Joe. Unfortunately not everyone belongs to ARRL (and more are leaving...I wonder why!), and its highly unlikely ARRL would provide such a service to us sorters. ARRL has indicated its funding for the? incoming buro is living on borrowed time.
There's always the DELETE key; or one could set up filters to move emails from designated sources to SPAM .

Perhaps ARRL should provide legitimate bureau staff access to the
member directory (with e-mail) rather than require amateurs to
expose themselves to additional unsolicited commercial (spam)
e-mail in order to receive cards from the bureau.
In any case, e-mail should not be necessary if users keep envelopes
(with current address) on file with the bureau.? We certainly did
not have access to e-mail 40 years ago when I was a letter manager
with the 8th area bureau.? In the worst case a post card to the
station's Callbook address was sufficient.
