Subject: email addresses unsensitive to uppercase

Hi,

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

I tried to modify the Mether line without success :

#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

Any idea about that ?			  

Thanks in advance.		Gildas.

This should work with the default sendmail.cf.  The hostname part
will *definitely* work, and that's completely independent of
sendmail.

I think there was a bug in 5.2 sendmail where in aliases, case wasn't
ingnored, and in 5.3, there was a bug where even program names in .forward
files got forced to lower case.  I think the current sendmail on ftp.sgi.com
has both of these fixed.
