Without knowing what your router does with the address, it is hard to
say what might be going wrong. Presumably those are aliases? How are you
looking them up?

Do you really want John.Smith@??? to work and
john.smith@??? to fail? If your answer is "yes", you are
making life difficult for yourself. If your answer is "no, I want both
to work", then all you need to do is ensure that your aliases are in
lower case and the default lower-casing of incoming addresses will do
the job for you.
