Hi Ian,

Thanks for the feedback. My main concern is with the wildcard address
syntax. I have hundreds of legacy addresses which use a hyphon. Gmail
uses a plus symbol.

Let's say john@??? is a valid address and it's a wildcard
account. That means john-foo@???, john-bar@??? and
john-amazon.com@??? are all valid addresses too (they get
delivered to john's inbox).

Gmail's syntax means the addresses need to be:
john+foo@???
john+bar@???
john+amazon.com@???

If I update my MX record to allow gmail to handle my email, can I
still support the hyphon syntax? Or, how can I automagically change
those to be pluses?

Thanks,

Duggie
