Please do not attempt to instruct me about the design of email. I have
been one of the designers since the 1970s. I wrote one of the very first
SMTP implementations.
Sendmail is case-insensitive because the consensus of ALL the email
developers -- with the exception of Multics -- was to be case-insensitive.
I didn't do such attempt in any way. I cited the part of RFC you are helped
to write only. The RFC say something, the sendmail did something other,
which is no problem as it doesn't make any additional limits, the IMAP-UW
also did something other, but it make additional limits to user's of those
MTA which is written according the RFC, but not according mentioned
unwritten consensus.
I didn't sayd anything more, anything less.
If you understatnded it as an offency, it's misunderstanding.
