That's talking about local deliveries though (I've looked at the code, and the only lowercase calls I can see are in reference to hostnames and to local users). check_badrcptto is also invoked when forwarding mail from relayclients to other hosts, and those hosts may be case sensitive (rare though that is nowadays). >From interest, I've just done an experiment with two qmail hosts, and the first one preserves the case of the address completely in RCPT TO when forwarding as a remote delivery to the second host.
