All (well at least all I know of) mail daemons convert the username to lower case before delivering email into a local mailbox. You should never allow accounts to be created with uppercase letters if you want your system to function normally. Note that when all lowercase letters are used for the account, the email address may have uppercase in it since sendmail will make everything lowercase.
