This came up not long ago. I laughed hollowly, because in the early days
of Exim I made changes specifically so that it would *preserve* the case
that the user typed.

This is currently the best way to do this. But make sure you do it only
for your own local domains. In general, local parts of email addresses
are allowed to be case-sensitive. That's why Exim preserves case.

Send it to me. If it is small, I'll put it into the FAQ when I update
it. If it is not very small, I'll put it into the config.samples with a
reference in the FAQ.
