How to access SOA email "admin@example.com"?

I need SSL validation via email in namecheap.com. I have to select an email address from one of the followings.

admin@example.com
administrator@example.com
postmaster@example.com
webmaster@example.com
hostmaster@example.com

On Linode, I set SOA email=admin@example.com in Edit DNS Record.

(Could be a stupid question.) Where is the inbox of admin@example.com?

You have to create it. If you don't have an email server at example.com then I guess you'll have to make one.

It's a fundamental flaw on the part of namecheap.com's certificate issuance process to assume that mail can be received at every domain for which they issue a certificate. If you can get your money back, you should do that…or build a mail server at example.com.
