We have been looking at this.  We are working towards making the change to reduce/eliminate if possible due to privacy 
rights etc.  answers are below to your direct questions.  I submitted this a few weeks ago to both this and the CIO 
list servs, I did not get a lot of responses but would be happy to discuss further if you wish.

For those of you who provide retirees email (if anyone else is crazy enough to do so besides us), I have some questions:

  1.  Do you keep them in your primary email system/tenant (Exchange, O365, GSuite, etc)?currently yes, looking to 
provide at maximum email only
  2.  If you keep them in your primary system/tenant, do you require them to use MFA (assuming you require it for your 
active community)?one of the concerns and reasons we are looking to drop.  The costs and support
  3.  Do you change their address, i.e. add "emeritus" or "retiree" to the email domain? Again something we are looking 
at.  Currently emeritus keep the same account.  Retirees are changed to include a preceding  "r"

We're getting to the point where we are about to activate MFA on retirees and emerita and the apprehension of trying to 
teach some of these users how to use MFA has our support teams on pins and needles, so we're looking for alternatives.  
This and privacy rights are the reasons we are looking at the same


You are welcome to reply directly to me or to the list.

Thanks,
