All email addresses and aliases in courier are case-sensitive.  If you
don't want that, then create an empty "locallowercase" file in your
courier 'etc' directory (usually "/etc/courier" or
"/usr/lib/courier/etc") and then create *everything* on your box in
lowercase - all your accounts and all your aliases.

- From the 'courier' man page:

- -------------------------------------------
locallowercase
If this file exists, Courier will not distinguish being lowercase and
uppercase local accounts, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] will refer to the same local mailbox (where
example.com is your  domain).  Postmaster,  postmaster,
and POSTMASTER always refer to the same account, even if locallowercase
does not exist.

Note:  If  locallowercase  exists  you  cannot  have  any system
accounts that contain uppercase letters. locallowercase
applies only to local mail.  Mail addressed to external domains will
always have the case of the addresses preserved.
