“Gmail ignores dots entirely in the local part. This is not an
RFCstandard. It is Gmail-specific behavior.”Google does this all the time. They ignore parts of a spec, and by their sheer scale cause problems for other software. I’ve seen this first hand in their fonts and PDFs. I don’t know if it’s arrogance or maliciousness, but it’s one more reason for me to dislike them.
