Is there a way to deliver
email to usernames with mixed case?


looking at OpenBSD 3.8 w/ sendmail

Per the man page for adduser
it is recommended to use only lowercase,
but it will take mixed case for a login
and be case sensitive.


So for example
adduser EWhite

but if after I try
mail EWhite

I get an error message.


but  if I rmuser and
adduser ewhite

I can
mail ewhite


Perhaps it is a setting issue, but
it seems that while mixed
usernames are supported upto
31 characters, the local
mail transport is unable
to deliver to a username
with mixed case.

Having always used lowercase
names, I was blissfully unaware
of that gotcha, until a user
asked me specifically for a mixed
case username.

?
