Now this makes some sense to me. I think Google strips off everything before the dot and uses the remaining part of the prefix.<div>I have always received e-mails addressed to *.<a href="mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com">odhiambo@gmail.com</a> and always wondered.</div>

<div>Google should be sued - only by those who pay for the e-mail services. For the free service users, I doubt anyone stands a chance.</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 15:05, Okechukwu <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:okechukwu@gmail.com">okechukwu@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Goggle App&#39;s do recognize the dot and mail shouldn&#39;t because someone<br>
can masquerade as you on mail but not on apps? Re-writing rules simple<br>
because you have a challenge on implementing it, which I think is the<br>
case here, is not right for the whole universe!<br>

&gt;&gt; Google has to make them the same person to avoid someone masquerading as<br>
&gt;&gt; you and using the dot to differentiate.<br>
