It's even worse than that. At least the +XYZ is specified in the email rfc. Google has decided even further that periods in the name also go to the cononical email. ie hi.my.name@google.com is equal to himyname@google.com and routes all emails to the second.
- Too 3y agoAnother fun one is upper case vs lower case. I’ve been bitten by systems that are case sensitive, while the rest of the email world mostly is not.
- hudell 3y agoI could swear I at least once received an email that was sent to myname.mydomain@gmail.com or something similar in my myname@mydomain email. It's been several years but I remember thinking that was fucked up and looking into the full email to see if there was any other explanation for me receiving it, which I did not find.
