speaking of features that cause problems, the feature of uw-imap that will
let users login as User or USER or user bites me on a regular basis. we
use squirrelmail and have some plugins that do vacation/procmail setup and
it uses ftp to do that, so if they log in as User, then the ftp doesn't
work :-).
Are you aware that sendmail also does case-independent matching of
user ids?
It is silly to assume that you want to have joey, Joey, JOEY, etc. as
separate user ids. It's unfortunate that FTP makes that mistake.
According the RFC822/RFC2822 then local part of email address is
case-sensive, with exception of 'postmaster' which shall be compared
insensitive.
Yes, sendmail does case-independent matching, but it's proprietary
extension. No program shall follow them, unless it's written specifically for
sendmail.
