I seem to have a small problem with uppercase letters in the username.
When sending mail locally ie 'mail Rick' or from an external domain
ie 'Rick@bogus.com.au' i get an unknown user error message.

BUT!
I can still telnet/ftp into the server as well check for mail via POP3
ok.

Is Uppercase a problem with sendmail and/or its delivery agent???

Can anyone please enlighten me on this one please.


PS I am running RedHat 4.1 on a UDB-166


Regards
Rick
