### i was looking for the UserID only, the wietse has replied that it is
not possible. i just solve it in a crude way!! modifing the *.c in local
not to go the function lowercase() ;-))

A lot of mail software does not preserve the case of the recipient
name. In many cases I am subscribed as "WIETSE" while my submission
clearly said "wietse".

One cannot count on senders to spell recipient names in the "right"
case. Because of this, Postfix folds to lowercase whenever it does
a table lookup.

You can't do this with Postfix, and it will be like that for at least
another year.
