We have a bunch of uucp clients, some of which are registered in the
US domain. Here's part of my sendmail.cf
# Class for uucp clients
CVmumble
...
# Rewrite US domain addresses for uucp clients
R$*<@$=V.santa-cruz.ca.us> $#uucp$@$2$:$1
The problem is that occasionally we receive mail addressed to
USER@MUMBLE.SANTA-CRUZ.CA.US
and this gets bounced by uucp because MUMBLE is not the same as mumble
in uucp addresses.
I could of course write a whole bunch of rules, one for each uucp client,
like
R$*<@mumble.santa-cruz.ca.us>$* $#uucp$@mumble$:$1
and this would turn the upper case hostname into lower case, but I'd rather not.
I can't decide whether uucp is wrong in being case-sensitive. Is there
some way in sendmail to turn a hostname into all lower case?
