Qmail doesn't distinguish between usernames on the basis of 
case.  It lowercases everything and doesn't deliver to users 
with uppercase letters in their usernames:

Thus it seems reasonable that the comparison should also be 
case-insensitive.

Not to mention that anyone who sets up a mail system where 
usernames are distinguished by case is insane (or at least 
seriously lacking in common sense).
