Case is not important in mail addresses so if your system is choking because of that, then fix your mailer. I see from the headers that nuchat is running smail ... surely smail doesn't care about case? ... A quick glance at the source shows options to tailor case sensitivity for "aliases" or login names ... but not path information. Note that UIUCVMD is an IBM machine on BITNET ... IBM people must love yelling at each other 'cause they're so much upper-case oriented :-). >>From uunet!UIUCVMD.BITNET!LISTSERV Sun Nov 29 01:00:36 1987 remote from nuchat >Received: by nuchat.UUCP (smail2.5) > id AA18122; 29 Nov 87 01:00:36 CST (Sun) >Received: from WISCVM.WISC.EDU by uunet.UU.NET (5.54/1.14) > id AA06249; Sat, 28 Nov 87 22:47:51 EST >Message-Id: <8711290347.AA06249@uunet.UU.NET> >Received: from Uiucvmd.Cso.Uiuc.Edu by wiscvm.wisc.edu ; Sat, 28 Nov 87 21:48:13 CDT >Received: by UIUCVMD (Mailer X1.25) id 6841; Sat, 28 Nov 87 21:47:11 CST >Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1987 21:47 CST >From: Revised List Processor (1.5l) <uunet!wiscvm.wisc.edu!LISTSERV%UIUCVMD.BITNET> >Subject: Output of job "LISTSERV" from LISTSERV@TCSVM >To: NUCHAT!SUGAR!KARL -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <david@ms.uky.edu> <---- or: {rutgers,uunet,cbosgd}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- <---- Winter health warning: Remember, don't eat the yellow snow!
