A candidate is the dingbat font MarvoSym, for which a dedicated LaTeX
package is included. See
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/marvosym/marvodoc.pdf
or
/usr/local/TeXLive/texmf.texlive/doc/latex/marvosym/marvodoc.pdf
depending on your setup.
However, even in this documentation file, you'll see that email
adresses include the "@" sign from the current font (Times) instead
of the "@" sign from the MarvoSym font.
