Am I missing something? RFC 2821 clearly states ... | 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. Mailbox domains are not case sensitive. In | particular, for some hosts the user "smith" is different from the | user "Smith". However, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox | local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouraged. I would rather expect, that this behaviour is maintained even in some backend. Even if it's not common case to have two different email addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], IMHO any serious email software should be able to behave RFC compliant by default. -cs _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
