Anyone getting bounces from Gmail: failed sending to you@googlemail.com?
Seeing quite a few mail rejection messages:
Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to *your.name@google.com* because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.
<https:// support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser>
Seems there's been quite a spate of these messages where someone's trying to send from my.name@gmail.com to my.name@googlemail.com and the back-scatter does raise eyebrows. At least a couple users of Ontario LUGs are experiencing this, so thought I'd reach out. If it's wide spread, it may indicate email harvesting from the list archive.
I use a gmail account as my main contact, and I've not experienced this ... yet. What I (and my family) have noticed is a dramatic spike in phone and WhatsApp spam over the last few weeks, totally unrelated by a major PITA. - Evan On Mon, Sep 1, 2025 at 4:41 PM Ron via Talk <talk@lists.gtalug.org> wrote:

Hi Ron, unsure if my reply got through. Yes, in fact this is the very situation I reported to you privately. I dumped two such efforts this afternoon. My gmail address is not tied to this list though? Karen On Mon, 1 Sep 2025, Ron via Talk wrote:
