I guess there's a misunderstanding. NJE addresses are, by definition, uppercase. The mailer upcases the userid before trying to spool a file to it, for example. Thus, 'eric@frecp11' and 'ERIC@FRECP11' are the same person. As I just told Hank in a private piece of mail, [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] are two different logins. This is stupid of course but that's the way the authors of UNIX thought God meant login names to be, and that's not the point anyway, it just IS a fact of life. Thus, it should make a difference whether the command came in from 'Hank' or 'hank'. See the RFC822 standard for more details on the sensitivity of local-parts. Eric
