Hi Bob,
I think you're problem is with cyrus, not exim. I'm pretty sure exim
ignores case when processing a message. I haven't used cyrus in a while
but I think the mailbox names are case sensitive. So while exim will
determine that message for Tiffany should go in tiffany's mailbox, cyrus
will reject it so exim will reject it.
Again, working from memory here, but I think I solved this problem in
the past by having exim convert the recipient to all lower case and
making sure that all mailboxes were in lower case. If I can find the
exact config info I'll post it.
thanks,
mikeS
