Good question - the vacation spec is not clear on that. The RFC2821 spec 
actually says that the local part of an address (to the left of the @) is 
case-sensitive, whilst the domain part (to the right of the @) is not. Thus 
'some.email at example.com' and 'Some.Email at example.com' are not the same. Of 
course it turns out that many implementations do treat those as the same, 
so there does need to be a way to handle that in vacation. The 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 matter up on 
the sieve list as it needs to be cleared up wrt vacation.
