The local-part MAY be case-sensitive, but in general I don't know any
mail addresses where the case matters.
Thus it is hard for me to understand, why this comparison of the
vacation address is case-sensitive. Whether the final recipients address
is also treated case-insensitive.
If this has to be case-sensitive to be RFC compliant, then please create
an option for admins or users to change the behavior to an
case-insensitive comparison.
