Er, the case-(in)sensitivity of DNS seems irrelvant here (re: Viktor's point (e) in that post). After all, we'd be hashing the local-part. All that matters is that senders, resenders, ... preserve the form given them by recipients. So maybe we need no canonicalization step at all. If I say I'm [email protected], and you type [email protected] into your MUA to send me e-mail, you might not reach me. That seems fair. And allows for aliases of any kind. If I want to publish SMIMEA RRs for all possible capitalizations of "foo" @bar.example, well I can, and if I don't want to then I don't have to.
