| Good question - the vacation spec is not clear on that. The RFC2821 spec

| case-sensitive, whilst the domain part (to the right of the @) is not.

| SIEVE base-spec gets around this by allowing comparisons (with either
| case-sensitive or case-insensitive comparators) against the local or
| domain part of an address separately if so desired. I will bring this

Further to this I see that newer versions of CMU SIEVE do case-insensitive 
comparisons, but older versions did not - perhaps Ken/Rob can confirm when 
that change was made so you can decide whether you need to upgrade/patch.
