Short story long: there aren't any! FYI: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10313&topic=1564 that was the only reference i found, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt doesn't mention anything beside EXPN which still treats the localpart literally and checks for a mailbox (or alias) as literally found in the localpart. Personally I think google's doing wrong here. Just don't do it anywhere else, as it's unlikely your mail will reach the person you intended to send it. -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours You are not free to read this message, by doing so, you have violated my licence and are required to urinate publicly.
