A few months ago Joy received an email that was probably spam, but the interesting thing was that in the e-mail address there was a full point (.) inserted before the last letter before the @ character, so it ended …ee.s@gmail.com, It should be …ees@gmail.com. I did a trial with my Gmail account inserting a full point in the same place in my address and it too arrived as if it were the correct address. I tried putting the full point elsewhere in the address and got the Mail Delivery warning of a problem. Just wondered if anybody knew of an explanation for it, or had similar experience. 2012-02-18T12:01:01+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/727#3237 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Weird! I have just been playing with one of my gmail addresses. Sending from Mail: A dot in any place in the name part is delivered. A dot between each letter of the name part is delivered [that's 8 dots between 9 letters]. Two dots between two letters produces the warning from Mail "*******..**@googlemail.com does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again". I clicked send anyway & it was delivered. I tried 3 dots together, got the warning but clicked Send Anyway and it was delivered. I substituted a dot for a letter and it was rejected. Got bored. Weird!
