Is it possible for dovecot to strip realms and force lowercasing of usernames?
We have a lot of dumb customers who try logging in to pop3 with crap
like UsERNAmE and bla@nonexistentdomain.com. All our usernames are
lowercase and we have no realms. Trying to get hundreds of customers to
fix this is hard and is a significant and costly support burden.
It would be nice if dovecot could handle this in some way.
One solution would be to run an POP/IMAP proxy - perdition is capable of
doing this, for example.
