True. Anyway, out of curiosity, what happens (assuming you're
running sendmail with the default config) if you have two users, JOHN
and john? (Ok, this is stupid to begin with, but it can happen...) The
user JOHN simply can't receive any mail, even locally?
With the default configuration JOHN can't receive mail, even if there is
no user named john . Sendmail converts the incoming name to lowercase,
then does a case-sensitive comparison.
