     When a sender writes my email address with my username uppercase,
     e.g. usern...@name.com, in the to: field of their MUA, my mail server
     rejects that email. /var/log/mail.log prints:
      
     <usern...@redacted.com>: host mail.redacted.com[private/dovecot-lmtp]
     said: 550 5.1.1
     > <usern...@redacted.com> User doesn't exist: usern...@redacted.com

     In the manual, I found that:
      
     auth_username_format
     Default: %Lu
     Formatting applied to username before querying the auth database.
     You can use the standard variables here.
     Examples:
     %Lu
     Lowercases the username
     [...]
      
     My current setting was not the default; I had:
     auth_username_format = %n
      
     So I updated that setting to:
     auth_username_format = %Lu
     expecting that %Lu would lowercase the username - and that my problem
     would be fixed.
      
     It does not though. Updating this setting not only prompts my email
     server to still reject usern...@redacted.com, but now also rejects
     (lowercase username) usern...@redacted.com (which my server had no
     issue receiving beforehand).
      
     So I reverted auth_username_format to:
     auth_username_format = %n
      
     Emails sent to usern...@redacted.com land in my mailbox again - but
     emails sent to usern...@redacted.com still don't.
      
     What can I try to troubleshoot?
     Which config file shall I share with you?
