How do I allow mail being forwarded or aliased to ignore case
sensitivity?

You mean ignore case sensitivity in the username?  If you're using
sendmail, aliases are already case insensitive.  Usernames are
controlled via the F=u flag (if set, convert everything to lowercase
(thus making it case insensitive)).

    If this is true, then it's a bug in sendmail.  The username part in
e-mail addresses _is_ case sensitive (as opposed to the machine name
part, which isn't) --- usernames on Unix are case sensitive.
