There is also the alias of googlemail.com on the domain level... Always a cause of big headaches.

  johnsmith@gmail.com
  john.smith@gmail.com
  johnsm.ith+foobar@gmail.com
  j.oh.nsmith@googlemail.com

all are pointing to the same logical email address.

The email you see in my profile is backed by a Gmail account, but I doubt you would know that if I didn't tell you. Hopefully I haven't made your headache worse ;)

You can see that it's backed by gmail by looking at the MX records.
