But you can’t put the cat back in the bag. People have used the system to sign up for multiple emails at multiple sites, expecting them to go to the same inbox.

I suppose you could solve the problem by grandfathering all existing aliases and whitelisting delivery of only those that received at least one email before the policy change. And also continuing to forbid registration of any aliases.
- jwilk 9y agoI'm (naively?) hoping that Google doesn't know which aliases received at least one email.
- chatmasta 9y agoOf course they know. They delivered the emails to the aliases, which are permanently in the To: field of the metadata. As long as you can see the email “to” address in the gmail web interface, so can Google.
