For the OP -- this information came from the whois database, which you query like "whois example.net".
So 'jeack.com.au' still exists as a domain, it is not merely an alias for rhn1@hotkey .net .au ?
You can "alias" www.example.net to chartreuse.example.net -- that is called a CNAME DNS RR. IIRC you can only CNAME within a domain, e.g. you can alias www.example.net to chartreuse.example.net, but not to google.com or www.chartreuse.example.net. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME In any case, jeack.com.au still needs to exist as a domain for your old email address to work, even if mail to foo@jeack.com.au is actually handled elsewhere. In this case, you can see it quite clearly: $ dig mx jeack.com.au +short 5 vscan.hotkey.net.au. Which tells MTAs that if they have mail for foo@jeack.com.au, they should pass it on to vscan.hotkey.net.au.
