I do not expect that removing the lowercase() call will break other
code. It sits in code that maintains a cache of resolved recipient
addresses. However, this needs to be verified before anything can
be changed in a stable release.
Considering that this has not been a problem in the last 7 years,
this is not a high-priority item.
Generally, it is unwise to have access policy that depends on the
recipient address case. First, the case is under control by the
adversary. Second, the policy is prone to accidental matches
and non-matches.
