I'm perplexed as to how you even got [email protected], because I'm pretty sure Gmail disregards the dot and will send anything with your address to [email protected][0].

That's actually the likely source of the confusion, as my (example) email might be [email protected] while the serial offender is likely [email protected] (based on the salutation in the message).

Well, yeah, it is technically just [email protected], I am just used to the dot :)

So, any combination of dots in there works. I have just had it since the Gmail beta. And Insert both with and without the dot as mistaken deliveries.
