Subject: REPOST : upppercase characters in e-mail address

Hi,

I am using sendmail 8.6.9 on IRIX 5.3.

I would like to make our email addresses (both *username* and
*domainname*) insensitive to uppercase characters. I mean that I want
to make possible that people use the address [email-masked]
(for example) instead of [email-masked].

I make this possible for local adresses (ex : Perrot instead of
perrot) by removing the 'u' F flag in the line below :

#Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=EDFMlsmu, S=10, R=20, A=mail -s -d $u
Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=EDFMlsm, S=10, R=20, A=mail -s -d $u

1) I tried to modify the Mether line without success for complete address
(used by people from outside our domain).

#Mether, P=[IPC], F=mDFMXCu, S=11, R=21, E=\r\n, A=IPC $h
Mether, P=[IPC], F=mDFMXC, S=11, R=21, E=\r\n, A=IPC $h

2) Furthermore, by doing the modification for local user, I am not able
to send e-mail to people who have uppercase characters in their login
name (error message : user unknown). 

Any idea about those 2 problems ?

Thanks in advance.		Gildas.
