ocket8888 commented on issue #2036: Store case-insensitive user info in DB 
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/2036#issuecomment-557182186
 
 
   According to [Section 2.3.11 of 
RFC5321](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-2.3.11):
   
   > _"... the local-part MUST be interpreted and assigned semantics only by 
the host specified in the domain part of the address."_
   
   Where email addresses are of the form `{{local-part}}@{{domain part}}`. So 
we MUST treat [email protected] as distinct from [email protected], although *not* 
distinct from [email protected].
   
   I don't know, though, if any widely-used email providers actually treat 
local parts as case-sensitive (e.g. GMail does not), but they are allowed to.
