You do nothing - that's the default behaviour. Write your aliases in lower
case, and a redirect router will work for incoming aliases in arbitrary
case. Which is what Philip wrote above.

Example alias file:

test.user: somewhere@???

Any combination of the following addresses will get aliased as needed:

test.user
Test.User
TEST.USER
TesT.uSeR

etc.
