Lee McLoughlin also makes the same (wrong) connection between sendmail
and case-sensitivity. When I pointed the problem out to Lee (and to
which he was quick to fix), I thought I made it clear that it was a
fact of life that UUCP is case sensitive, not sendmail. In a sendmail
configuration for a particular mailer, you can specify whether the
case is sensitive or not - for UUCP it is.

I'm no expert, or great fan of sendmail, but it gets a bad enough press
for other things already.
