[Dovecot] configure lmtp to deliver to email addresses case insensitively

[Adrian Zaugg]

Hi Marcus

The change of adding an L to

	auth_username_format = %Ln"

indeed has the side effect, that LMTP delivers wrongly cased addresses.
But the main effect and disadvantage is, that authenticating logins with
wrongly cased usernames do also succeed, which I actually do not like to
happen.

Isn't there another solution? A feature request for a new option
lmtp_username_format?

Regards, Adrian.
