I also have a firstname.lastname@gmail address from many years ago and quite often get emails for about five different people (based on the real-world location info in them). It seems that most of these are really sent to firsnamelastnamenumbers@gmail and somehow the number(s) get truncated by the sender, leading to firstnamelastname@gmail which then gets routed to me.
- kmoser 2mo agoWhat leads you to believe they're being sent to firsnamelastnamenumbers@gmail? And by "sender" do you mean the human at the keyboard sending the email, or their email client? I can see how a human might forget to type the numbers, but not an email client arbitrarily truncating them.
