I think it is pretty standard security to be strict on username/password
and case.
What is wrong with just telling your users that the username and
password is case sensitive?

You can modify the html template (in the template directory) with a
statement.

Is the problem that your users have some with upper case
usernames/passwords?

PS. I think your emails are in html or something, people will not
respond to those.

Subject: Upper Case NOT Allowed in UserName Authentication


Howdy,

I've installed the latest tmda and tmda-cgi with Blue patch on a
Linux9.1 machine.
I use  /etc/tmda  mode 400 for plaintext username/password
authentification - simple enough but
ALL  username/password  combinations MUST be in lower case before it is
authenticated.
Any username/password charactures in UPPER case results in WRONG
PASSWORD
with the source message of

Username z2ycrnuc not found in system.
str='getpwnam(): name not found: z2ycrnuc'

The username I inputed was   Z2yCRnuc


I've tried  checkpassword-pam also   "/var/qmail/bin/checkpassword-pam
-slogin"
This reports the same after recompiling.   Using checkpassword with POP3
I do
get authenticated.

Is there a workaround or am I not seeing something I should?  I
appreciate your
help with this great program and any comments with be absorbed too!

George
