Just tested google mail since I have a google account with a clients domain. Not gmail technically.
Anyway. alvin.starr@domain.com works but alvinstarr@domain.com does not. but may gmail account will take alvinthing@gmail.com and alvinthing.@gmail.com
So it appears that punctuation counts some times. Sure, google mail service for your domain does not follow the rules of gmail. It's not the same service.
Well both are through gmail. It is quite possible that the "free" service has different rules than the "paid" service but that would surprise me (just a bit). Email addresses need to be able to accept the various character sets used by languages other than ASCII so the rules for punctuation may be embedded in that standard. I have not looked at that stuff in years so I would not want to comment on what is valid or not. -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || home: (905)513-7688 alvin@netvel.net ||
