Yes, aliases are case sensitive.  So when using 'locallowercase'
*everything* needs to be lowercase - accounts, aliases, etc.  That way
everything will "match".

If 'locallowercase' exists, then whenever a message arrives, courier
converts the address to all lower case.  Then it does the rest of the
its magic.  So if you create a mixed case alias for an account, then
that's a "valid" alias, but courier will never deliver to it (AFAICT)
because when a message arrives for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
courier will first convert it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then
set about delivering it.  Since that's not a valid address/alias, it
doesn't get delivered.

So make your aliases all lower case, and then they will work regardless
of what case the address is in.
