Short version: Agree. Technically, we should be defaulting to case-insensitive for domains, but *not* for left-hand-sides, but in practice, the number of cases where case in the LHS is semantically significant is so small that I'm not convinced it's worth bothering to support. -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
