I use periods and they work fine like for [email protected] or [email protected] which surprisingly resolves to my main email and I’ll block spam from any sender spamming that period address. Anyone know why this works?

This is a Gmail-specific feature. I'd guess it's there for user convenience and some protection against typos (accidental or malicious).
