If you want to use local usernames with upper case characters, add the following line in your `sendmail' configuration file (in the directory /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf): define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `rmn9u') N.B. Add it _before_ the line `MAILER(local)'! If you haven't got this file, edit /etc/sendmail.cf, search the line which begins with Mlocal and insert one character `u' after `F='. It should work.
