can mixed case username receive email
Is there a way to deliver email to usernames with mixed case? looking at OpenBSD 3.8 w/ sendmail Per the man page for adduser it is recommended to use only lowercase, but it will take mixed case for a login and be case sensitive. So for example adduser EWhite but if after I try mail EWhite I get an error message. but if I rmuser and adduser ewhite I can mail ewhite Perhaps it is a setting issue, but it seems that while mixed usernames are supported upto 31 characters, the local mail transport is unable to deliver to a username with mixed case. Having always used lowercase names, I was blissfully unaware of that gotcha, until a user asked me specifically for a mixed case username. ?
