In recent snapshots of postfix, the lmtp client no longer downcases email
addresses sent in RCPT TO commands.  This means that Cyrus lmtpd now rejects
email with a user unknown when people capitalize letters in what are normally
lowercase usernames.  Since there's no way I can train customers and their
correspondents to not capitalize email addresses randomly, can we change 
lmtpd/sasl to properly handle these sorts of addresses?
