Set "NSDefHideEmail" in your services.conf file.  This stops the
possibility of would-be spammers from harvesting e-mail addresses from
your NickServ database too.

Seems a terrible fiddle to add _another_ e-mail address; bound to
confuse most users too.  If they want to be contacted, they should set
their NickServ URL to a web page which has their preferred contact
details.
