Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Are IMail user
names case sensitive?
Not
sure of all the answers to this however the username should be case
insensitive. When using a SQL server to authenticate the SQL server can be
configured to be case sensitive or not. The default for the US/UK edition of
SQL server is to case insensitive.
To
configure it to be case sensitive you have to do a custom install, then select
the case sensitive character set and sort order (get a good SQL 7.0 book if
you want to do this - Orielly T-SQL book is good as is Wrox SQL Server
7.0)
If
you have already installed case sensitive (you'd know if you had because I
doubt the odbcuser.dll would work fully) then undoing this decision pretty
much means a reinstall of SQL.
Hope
this helps

Hi everyone,
can anyone advise me as to whether
IMail user names are case sensitive? Will it treat mail addressed to a
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] the same as mail addressed
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
Also, does it differ depending on whether it is
sending the mail or receiving it? And thirdly, does it matter if it is using
an external database for authentication - will it just go along with whether
the database is set to be case sensitive or not?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
