Description of Problem: If I mail to a local user that has caps in the username like "Freaks", the mail program gives the error "Freaks... User unknown", even if Freaks is a valid system user. When using usernames that dont contain uppercase characters, this error doesn't occur. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.11.6-2.7.1 How Reproducible: Create a user with uppercase characters and try to mail him (using "mail Testuser") Actual Results: The folowing error: "Freaks... User unknown /root/dead.letter... Saved message in /root/dead.letter" Additional Information:
i have the same Problem
I am sorry this problem can not be solved. You should only generate accounts with lowercase characters. Example: You are having two users: Freak and freak. Who should get the emails for "fReAk@localhost"? Email addresses are case-insensitive, but logins are case-sensitive.
