In which case it has to distinguish between mail sent to bob and to Bob? - hendrik

In which case it has to > distinguish between mail sent to bob and to Bob?The local part of an email domain has absolutely nothing to do with any (local or non-local) user account - and who says that there are any user accounts/logins (apart from root and so-called system users) on the mail system? Yes, it *could* have something to do, and yes it actually may often be the case but that's just a - intended or not intended - coincidence ....

RFCs, especially earlier ones, require local-part to be case senstive but that was a poorly thought out directive and the world largely ignored it. -- Eray

Most mail admins have set their systems up to normalize all users on lowercase names, but that is not and has not always been the case. -- Belief is one of the most powerful organic forces in the multiverse. It may not be able to move mountains, exactly. But it can create someone who can.
