That’s by design though, the .‘s are optional. You can add more even. Also plus routing: [email protected] also routes to the same email.

Well, I’ve learned something, thanks.

“ Gmail doesn't recognize periods as characters in addresses -- we just ignore them. For example, you could tell people your address was [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. (We understand that there has been some confusion about this in the past, but to settle it once and for all, you can indeed receive mail at all the variations with dots.)”
