As far as I know, Google is not violating any spec. The RFCs do not
require every mailbox name to be a unique person, and indeed,
specifically allow for other approaches. I just checked, and even
RFC-5322, the latest on the Internet email format, still has this
classic remark:
For example, some sites may choose to print mail on a printer
and deliver the output to the addressee's desk.
