I'm perplexed as to how you even got first.last@gmail.com, because I'm pretty sure Gmail disregards the dot and will send anything with your address to firstlast@gmail.com[0].

That's actually the likely source of the confusion, as my (example) email might be giraffe@gmail.com while the serial offender is likely g.iraffe@gmail.com (based on the salutation in the message).

Well, yeah, it is technically just firstlast@gmail.com, I am just used to the dot :)

So, any combination of dots in there works. I have just had it since the Gmail beta. And Insert both with and without the dot as mistaken deliveries.
