It looks to me like the problem is really a bug in mm-handler.
Normally, there is not an issue when aliases are used to invoke the
wrapper.
The problem appears to be that mm-handler just assumes the recipient
address of the incoming mail is lower case. I.e. the 'validfields'
which are used to validate the command portion of the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address are all lower case and the listname
portion is used in a test to see if the $prefix/listname/config.pck
file exists.
I'm not fluent in perl, but it seems that
$list = $addr;
in the following piece of mm-handler
ADDR: for $addr (@to) {
$prev = undef;
$list = $addr;
should be
$list = lc $addr;
