Mail systems do fuzzy matching on local parts in an enormous number of ways. But you will find that once you get past "map it all to lower case" the rest of them are all out at the tail of the curve. I don't know anyone other than Gmail that treats dots as noise characters ([email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are all the same mailbox) but since Gmail is such a large player, do they get their own special case? Personally, I think that: a) Viktor's approach is terrible, and 2) it's the best we're going to do so we might as well use it.
