I have a very common first.last@gmail.com (I wonder who has that literal address? Poor person.). The things I have gotten by accident are amazing. Highly sensitive loan applications, retirement accounts, travel documents, even a thread for a consultant doing highly sensitive plant improvements to a GM plant complete with access to gigs of plant info docs, process management and other proprietary information (vehicle design things). I have no idea, but these guys should be glad I an a benevolent entity :)
- AdmiralAsshat 8y agoI'm perplexed as to how you even got first.last@gmail.com, because I'm pretty sure Gmail disregards the dot and will send anything with your address to firstlast@gmail.com[0]. That's actually the likely source of the confusion, as my (example) email might be giraffe@gmail.com while the serial offender is likely g.iraffe@gmail.com (based on the salutation in the message).

- bitexploder 8y agoWell, yeah, it is technically just firstlast@gmail.com, I am just used to the dot :) So, any combination of dots in there works. I have just had it since the Gmail beta. And Insert both with and without the dot as mistaken deliveries.
