| Yes this is very frustrating.
|
| The details are not so hard to guess. Unless this post is different,
| anyone can send an email to a nonexistent user at a google service and
| they accept it and bounce back to the envelope recipient. *sigh*.

|
| I would even go as far as to say that Google is making a business case for
| its latest purchase, postini, in a very evil way, every second this proble
| goes unsolved.
