Hi all procmail gurus,
I'm a newbie admin sys running Linux, Postfix & procmail as local
delivery agent.
My mail install runs well except for a user, Yoann( its name) Unix user
on my Linux box.
That's a bad idea having Unix user with UPPER CASE letter but now that's
done!!!
This user is unable to get its email because mail is sent to a yoann
file in my /var/spool/mail directory with an owner yoann ( doesn't exist
!! )
So have you any clues for saving me plenty times!!!

1) Set up accounts properly to use lowercase names.

or

2) Use sendmail aliases, but I'm not sure if aliases are case
   sensitive or not.

thou two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Eight is
right out.  Once the number three, being the third number be
reached, shalt thou move towards indenting thy next line ..
