Came across this, kinda sucks to have such a long address after. However if you have gmail.com before 19th it wont change.

I have all mail addresses except the one I use, postmaster and abuse (so my domain won't be blocked) pointing to NULL. That way I get very little spam.

It's retarded how most mail services just forwards anything@yourdomain.com to your main account by default.

i wonder if they were smart enough to not allow googlemail users to grab gmail account names.. O_o...

A person's 'google account' is the first sectionof their gmail address, so my google account is 'thegreatfoo'. Hence, the email thegreatfoo@googlemail.com won't be available to anyone else.
