It may not even be routing; it may be storage. One of the tricks to
teh GOOG's architecture is that they do things all different from
everyone else. Therefore, I'm sure there is a jonathan.katz at gmail.com
"filesystem" of sorts... maybe there is a filesystem "driver" error
that let's me get the occasional mail for jonathankatz at gmail.com.

My wife has a similar e-mail address, first.last at gmail.com and for a
few months she seemed to get ALL of firstlast at gmail.com's e-mail,
including some very torrid and graphic e-mails of a personal nature!
