Does your email have a dot in it? Gmail has a bug, if I recall correctly, where people would get email from addresses with the dot stripped (eg a.b@gmail.com would get email from ab@gmail.com)
I myself regularly receive email that appears to be a result of this bug.
I have never seen a fix.

This way people won't fake being you by creating an account with a dot in the user part of the email address (at least that's the way I see it eventhough I've never seen an official reason)... https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.html https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-mo...
- bmh_ca 10y agoFascinating. Except I created Gmail accounts with '.' in them and now get email intended for the Gmail accounts that do not. Interesting reference, thanks. I'm guessing my account was created before intended restrictions came into play.
