RFC 2142 Section 2, Paragraph 2 2. INVARIANT.....
Mailbox names must be recognized independent of character case. For example, POSTMASTER, postmaster, Postmaster, PostMaster, and even PoStMaStEr are to be treated the same, with delivery to the same mailbox. Implementations of these well known names need to take account of the expectations of the senders who will use them. Sending back an automatic mail acknowledgement is usually helpful (though we suggest caution against the possibility of "duelling mail robots" and the resulting mail loops). -Thadeus On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 2:15 PM, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > > It is not obvious to me that upper and lower case in emails should be > equivalent?
