Re: odd email

It's a valid booking - I guess someone mistyped their email address, maybe missed a .au.com or something.

The email address retreived from the booking is

damienoneill - at - gmail.com

Is this something to do with the way gmail parses addresses, upper case / lowercase names, punctuation etc > something from google

Addressing Gmail
- Gmail supports plus addressing.
johndoe+shopping@gmail.com will be received by user johndoe. Useful with filters to create multiple identities or roles.

- Gmail removes punctuation in gmail addresses.
Mail directed at johndoe@gmail.com can be received by user john.doe. As with all email, it’s also case insensitive.

- Gmail doesn’t (yet) support mailing lists, but you there are workarounds.

<mod edit: Chris W> now that we know this is not spam, i see no need to share someone's flight booking and personal information with the rest of the world!
