Description marcelvdh 1998-12-26 15:43:05 UTC

We're unable to send local email in Redhat 5.2 to accounts
that start with a captial letter. Thus email can be sent
locally from root@localhost to user@localhost, but NOT to
User1@localhost. (accounts starting with a capital letter
cannot receive mail).

signed,

Marcel van den Hof (we have tested this with a clean
install with other ppl's computers and they also experience
the problem)

From rfc 821:

"For some hosts the user name is case sensitive, and SMTP
implementations must
take case to preserve the case of user names as they appear in mailbox
arguments. Host names are not case sensitive."

Comment 3 Preston Brown 1999-03-22 17:42:59 UTC

Let me verify something.  You are unable to send mail to users names
starting with capital letters, and those users exist on the system
with usernames physically starting with capital letters? I.e. there is
an entry in /etc/aliases or /etc/passwd for them with the
capitalization you speak of?

If you are simply trying to address normal users (which have all
lowercase login names) with a capital letter, then this will fail, and
the behaviour is expected as referenced from the RFC.  Please re-open
the bug if this is not the case.
