I like to create few bot accounts without email address like @system (it have `noemail` as it’s email address).

Or is there any existing option to achieve this?

Just use email synonyms syntax.

For example:

- [me@gmail.com](mailto:me@gmail.com)
- [me+bot1@gmail.com](mailto:me+bot1@gmail.com)
- [me+bot2@gmail.com](mailto:me+bot2@gmail.com)

All 3 emails are synonyms for [me@gmail.com](mailto:me@gmail.com)

This is supported by many email providers nowadays

I’ve never heard it called that before. I’ve commonly heard it called “plus addressing” (due to the plus sign), “tagged addressing” and seen an RFC that calls it “sub-addressing”. Near as I can tell Exchange (and [outlook.com](http://outlook.com)) does not yet support it:

[Outlook.com](http://Outlook.com) does support it
