Yes.

Because many people assume that the local part is case insensitive.

Regarding case sensitivity, qmail is RFC compliant. The why has
already been explained in to you in a previous message.

Pieces of qmail.

RTFM.

Don't know, but you could certainly remove the case folding, if that's
what you want.

Easy: address it to GregGum123, greggum123, GRegGUm123, ...
If the question is, how do you get qmail to deliver mail to both
GregGum123 and greggum123, where these represent different users, the
answer is: you hack out the case folding. If you don't know how to do
that, find someone who does. If nobody volunteers, offer to pay.
