This came up with the author of Majordomo2 - I've got a couple
dozen lists in use, and had to customize the username munging
to get early versions of Mj2 to let people post. Now there is
an option to ignore case. It probably SHOULD be ignored on a
per-domain basis, but I'm munging the domains to remove things
like "@mail.xxx.com" (which should be "@xxx.com").
Beware the corruption which can occur when case sensitive
names are on your list and THEN you start forcing them to
lower case. That's the main problem I had - the only fix
was to remove them, apply case corrections, and add them again.
(And, no, I've never seen a domain that respects username case.)
