What should be a simple problem with uppercase letters in username.

1996-10-18 12:38:07

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with a user Robert on our system receiving mail.  
I have an entry in my alias file to point robert: Robert
First, it appeard that sendmail was setting the incomming username to
all lowercase, but I corrected that with the F=u flag in the local mailer
definition in my sendmail.cf
I now have
Mlocal,   P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=ulsDFMAw5:/|@ShPfn, S=10,R=20/40,
          T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
          A=procmail -a $h -d $u

Now the mail will get routed only if the user has a .forward address 
pointing to an account that doesn't have uppercase letters.  If the user
doesn't have a .forward, I get an error message user unknown... 

I don't have any .procmailrc for users, or /etc/procmailrc, but when
I do a /usr/bin/procmail -h, I see a D that looks interesting.  I'd like
to specify the D on the command line, but I suspect I'll have to create
an /etc/procmailrc.  

Can anybody help me??  I'm very new to this stuff, so if you have an 
exact example, it would be very helpfull.

David
