I’m genuinely curious as to how other people are using your email address, albeit with different usage of ‘.’ in it. It really sounds like you’re doing somethin

  There are two main examples: - I use first.last and get email for firstlast - I use <initial>last and get email for <initial>.last Then there are some really weird ones where the dot is just _randomly_ added or moved around, or where I get e-mails with multiple dots in the middle of the address (a.b.cde), etc. None of these would be accepted by a normal e-mail service unless there was a _real_ matching mailbox or alias. And this does not happen on a single mailbox, nor targeted at a specific alias. Sometimes it's as if someone were shotgunning various combinations, and I have no clue how some of those e-mails are considered valid by the senders, since _I think_ all the validation codes come into my inboxes. This also raises some questions as to whether mail addressed to me actually makes it to its destination...
