No, I want all mail that doesn’t use the email address I chose, which is “fred.flintstone@gmail” to be blocked as it would be on any other mail platform. I want gmail to act like any other mail provider, no dot innovation because I don’t want it. I’ve had this address since 2005. That’s a long time to learn about the benefits and costs.

Rule: for any email address variant that is not what the user selected, reply with “550 no such user here”.

Instant reduction in both spam and mistyped emails. Instant feedback to sender.
