Locate this line in /etc/sendmail.cf:
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
Change it to:
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9u, S=10/30, R=20/40,
Type as root "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart"
Hopefully this should fix it.
Its only a quickndirty workaround,and you must repeat this everytime
after you used install-sendmail,because this changes will be overwritten.
AFAIK this will make sendmail case sensitive.
According to the FAQ in http://www.sendmail.org, mail adresses should not be
case sensitive and unix usernames therefore should be lowercase as a
convention.
The best solution would be, to have all lowercase usernames.
HTH.
