Does this text look at all familiar?

  Verbs and argument values (e.g., "TO:" or "to:" in the RCPT command
  and extension name keywords) are not case sensitive, with the sole
  exception in this specification of a mailbox local-part (SMTP
  Extensions may explicitly specify case-sensitive elements).  That is,
  a command verb, an argument value other than a mailbox local-part,
  and free form text MAY be encoded in upper case, lower case, or any
  mixture of upper and lower case with no impact on its meaning.  The
  local-part of a mailbox MUST BE treated as case sensitive.
  Therefore, SMTP implementations MUST take care to preserve the case
  of mailbox local-parts.

and then comes the real world.........

* no mailserver on this world treats the local part case-sensitive
* you sell "ha...@example.com" is a different person than
  "ha...@example.com"?
* well, how do you handle half of your users just for fun
  using caps in their mail client and the other half don't
