On my linux system, I have uses with mixed case names.
I have one user RosaliE and I want her to get mail but postfix seems to
translate this rosalie.
How do I change this behaviour.
If this is a local user, AFAIK, you can't change the behavior
without hacking the code.
CASE FOLDING
All delivery decisions are made using the bare recipient
name (i.e. the address localpart), folded to lower case.

Do you actually want "Rosalie" and "rosalie" to refer to two
distinct users, or are you just considering this as a display
problem?

Thanks, I discovered this and I personally consider this a bug. In
these days, users names need to be mixed case for security reasons.
If I have a domain name I could just run through a list of well known
names, and then fill it up with mail.
I created mixed case user names for the same reason that one should
have mixed case passwords.
Fail2ban works very nicely at preventing dictionary attacks and will
simply ban the IP after a specified number of failed guesses.
