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. - ---------------------------------------------- HTH Jeff Jansen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHut/sGfIHDMaiC9cRAveGAJ9nNZ7NSO4jlTwaPbgU7gkPkqpwnACfcrI9 pf85a78GoLVj8Ck1dgc+7ZI= =/3QB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
