Yes, it should work with no problems. Your vanity email address is seperate from that email address.

Will I have problems with existing mailing lists?
No you should not have any problems.
If you wish to use your vanity email address with your mailing list subscription,
I suggest that you un-susbscribe with your real email address and re-subscribe with your vanity email address.
You will still receive mailing list info at your real email address, due to the redirect, but the mailing list
software will use your vanity email address. (A level of privacy).

Can I change my vanity email address later?
No. You will be given the opportunity to confirm your chosen vanity email address prior to it's creation.
