The local(8) delivery agent always case-folds names to lowercase.
This is currently not configurable. Ditto for the virtual(8) daemon.

It's easy enough to delete the lowercase() call from local(8),
but that would not be a general solution.

The pipe(8) delivery agent has configurable case folding, and that
code would have to be moved into a Postfix library module, so that
it can be used by other Postfix delivery agents.
