I admit I have a double-standard about this. If an ex-girlfriend contacted my husband, even in a friendly nostalgia kind of way, I'd be extremely leery. But part of that may be that I've heard stories about all of his exes and I am not impressed. However, I myself think fondly of several of my exes in a "though it obviously didn't work out, it was right for us at the time, and I wish him happiness in life" kind of way, and would contact any of them out of the blue if I were in the right mood, purely for nostalgia. Well, I take it back--I would contact them out of the blue if I happened across contact information. I wouldn't go looking for them.
Anyway, my advice is this: email back and forth is fine, laced with the occasional subtle sentence about your wife and/or kids, but at the first sign that she's trying to establish something more serious (keep in mind she knows your address,) I'd firmly but politely distance yourself.
