Best approach:

(1) Set locally_caseless = false

(2) Create a file mapping caseless values to the correct values, e.g.
containing lines like

msaah: msaaH

(3) Set up, as your first director, a translator like this:

get_case_right:
driver = smartuser
new_address = ${lookup{${lc:$local_part}}lsearch{/that/file}{$value}{$local_part}}@$domain

(4) If you have many users, make that a DBM rather than an lsearch
lookup.
