I'm afraid you are wrong here. Am I aware that *nix is case
sensitive? Absolutely! Are domain names case sensitive?
I don't think so. If they are, you might want to tell that to
Network Solutions... if I do a "whois linux-mandrake.com"
or a "whois LINUX-MANDRAKE.COM" I will get the same answer. The same
goes for an nslookup. Domain names are not case sensitive.
The same applies to e-mail as well. Any sendmail user will probably
tell you that if their domain name is "fakefoo.com" and you send
e-mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", it makes no difference, the same
person will get that mail.
If you can show me an example where I am wrong, let me know..
Any other takers for my question?
