GMail contact - misroute / security issue

[gtaylor at tnetconsulting.net (Grant Taylor)]

Hi,

I'm looking for a GMail contact.

My wife is receiving someone else's emails.

Specifically she is receiving emails for <first name><middle 
initial><last name>@gmail.com (no dots) when her email address is really 
<same first name>.<same middle initial>.<same last name>@gmail.com (dots).

I don't know if this is a "feature" or a "bug", but either way, it's 
disquieting my wife.  (Unhappy wife = unhappy life.)

I view this as both non-RFC compliant behavior -and- a potential 
security risk.  (Registering a GMail account as 
<someone><famous>@gmail.com (no dot) to capture email for 
<someone>.<famous>@gmail.com (dot) emails.)

Please reply or email me directly at gtaylor (at) tnetconsulting (dot) 
net for additional details.

Thank you and have a nice day.
