Hi,

i have a quick question.
I'm running FreeBSD-2.1. Everything works fine.
EXCEPT: sendmail receives and delivers emails for all users with
        usernames all lowercase, BUT when sending email to users
        with usernames that include also uppercase-letters
        (like Test@bla.bla), sendmail brings the following error:
              "Test@bla.bla... User unknown", when sending it with
              mail.
After this i (the sender) receive a mail from MAILER-DAEMON saying:
  .
  .
  .
  Subject: Returned mail: User unknown
  .
  .
  Test@bla.bla   (unrecoverable error)

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----
  550 Test@bla.bla... User unknown

"Test" is a user on my machine "bla.bla"

How can i force sendmail to deliver mail to users with uppercase-letters
in their usernames ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Bye, Darius.
