This seems more like a bug than something intentional. What I find more interesting (and am somewhat saddened by) is that a bug such as this causes people to leap to the conclusion that it is part of a malicious, anti-competitive plot.

Sadly, it doesn't have to be malicious to be anti-competitive. Back in AT&T's monopoly days they were at their most destructive not when they were scheming, but when their size let them not give a fuck what they were doing to other people as long as it was good for them.

You can intentionally not fix a bug.

It sounds more like a side effect than a bug. Both domains have conflicting policies. He wants any Gmail user to be able to impersonate a sender from his domain, but not in a way Gmail supports.

Are you asserting that Google has not engaged in anti-competitive behavior or that they should be given the benefit of the doubt despite previously engaging in anti-competitive behavior?
