As of rfc3522 a localpart*may* be used case sensitive or not. I suggest a switch "my_local_parts_are_casesensitive = yes/no" or "my_local_parts_are_caseINsensitive = no/yes" The name and default must be well selected and not break existing behaviour.
I think that's more transparent then changing an mostly unvisible setting.
Your system, your rules, however...
Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should* do it - and just because something is RFC compliant doesn't mean you should always implement it that way.
There are very few compelling arguments for supporting identical usernames differing only by case. One is some kind of legacy (unix) environment where you already have a lot of these... but I can't readily think of another (good one)...
