Dots are never ignored before the @, and also aren’t ignored after it, for that matter. I guess this is another falsehood people believe about emails. > Nobod

Dots are never ignored before the @, and also aren’t ignored after it, for that matter. I guess this is another falsehood people believe about emails. > Nobody else can register an email that is the same as yours but without a dot. It used to be possible, then google decided to stop allowing that (guess why?) And by the way, that’s an arbitrary decision. I have run mail servers and it’s just and cam tell you… it’s an arbitrary decision.
