Not really, no; but this will depend upon where the message is being
delivered to. The docs state:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch44.html#SECID230
"Exim preserves the case of local parts of addresses, but by default it
uses a lower-cased form when it is routing, because on most Unix
systems, usernames are in lower case and case-insensitive routing is
required."
In other words, your system would *by default* do what you want it to
do.
