It's the same as for Geotrust's SSL certificates. In order to confirm  
your domain, they want you to prove that you are in control of the  
mail flow. That's why they only have a short list of pre-defined mail  
addresses to choose from.
For Geotrust, it's webmaster and sslmaster. Could propably add  
"xmppmaster" as well, but that's something that we only can suggest  
from the community side.
