In the manual, I found that:
auth_username_format
Default: %Lu
Formatting applied to username before querying the auth database.
You can use the standard variables here.
Examples:
%Lu
Lowercases the username
[...]
My current setting was not the default; I had:
auth_username_format = %n
So I updated that setting to:
auth_username_format = %Lu
expecting that %Lu would lowercase the username - and that my problem
would be fixed.
It does not though. Updating this setting not only prompts my email
server to still reject [email protected], but now also rejects
(lowercase username) [email protected] (which my server had no
issue receiving beforehand).
So I reverted auth_username_format to:
auth_username_format = %n
Emails sent to [email protected] land in my mailbox again - but
emails sent to [email protected] still don't.
What can I try to troubleshoot?
Which config file shall I share with you?
