I was curious about this so I looked it up. Technically speaking, an email
address (the user, or local mailbox segment before the @domain.com) *is*
actually case sensitive (cf RFC2821 - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html)
and handling of this is managed by the SMTP server. However, in all my years
of interneting I've never once come across an instance where an email of
mine has been refused or mis-delivered due to its case being wrong (at
least, that I know of), and the RFC does discourage discrimination by case.

If memory serves, at laeast smtp mail adresses are case insensative anyway.

Subject: [ADSM-L] E-mail addreses for TSM administrators
My site is preparing for a major restructuring of our TSM
infrastructure. Some of the planned changes entail keeping
track of the e-mail addresses of TSM administrators. The
'register admin' and 'update admin' commands provide for
storing an e-mail address as part of the definition of an
administrator. I have experimented with this facility on
a 5.5.4.0 test server running under mainframe Linux. I am
entering the addresses with the user name portion in mixed
case. I have tried entering addresses without quotation
marks, with single quotation marks, and with double quotation
marks. So far, 'query admin' and related 'select' commands
have always shown the address in lower case only, regardless
of the way the address was entered. What am I doing wrong?
