I want to have it case-insensitive again, like in Pigeonhole version 0.4.24
i would also plea for making it case-insensitive again! We were hit by this too, and I never saw any mail system in which the local Part ist Case sensitive!
E.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9807909/are-email-addresses-case-sensiti... discusses this - including quotes from RFCs ...
Isn't the user name in the original Unix mail system (and presumably most of its descentants) case sensitive? 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 ....
