How do I fix this: lmtp appears to be case sensitive

[Rob Tanner]

Yep.  It's in the manpage and i plain just missed it.  That works for 
me because all out names are lower-case.  But I though that both the 
recipient and hostname werte supposed to be case insensitive (i.e., 
rtanner at linfield.edu and RTanner at linfield.edu are the same address). 
Am I wrong about that?

Again, thanks for pointing that option out.
