While Linux and Unix are both case sensitive and case preserving, domain
names are neither, as a simple experiment will show:
[ccurley@server public]$ nslookup trib.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: trib.com
Address: 12.10.153.72
[ccurley@server public]$ nslookup TRIB.COM
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: TRIB.COM
Address: 12.10.153.72
User names in Linux and Unix are both case sensitive and case preserving,
whereas in M$ products they are neither. I don't know why you are having
your problem, possibly an MTA setup issue.
